Please attach /tmp/X.log to this bug report. Thanks.
Created attachment 319593 [details] requested X.log
I should mention that X has been working horribly on this system since f9. X crashes about once per week in f9. But in f10beta, X just doesn't work at all during installation. Here's another bug report for X on the same system: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449460 As far as I know, there isn't a hardware problem, because it worked fine in f8.
Is this bug the same as this?: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461829 The end of the X.log looks similar... both have this: (EE) intel(0): Failed to pin front buffer: Cannot allocate memory Fatal server error: Couldn't bind memory for BO front buffer
You are probably right. Closing this as duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 461829 ***
