This log created after install Fedora 11b on system, but it have errors same as install full log.

P.S. I takeout one videocart for install Fedora11b and it insert after full installation.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates in various components of the Xorg system, which may have resolved this issue. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their packages. For packages from updates-testing repository you can use command

yum upgrade --enablerepo='*-updates-testing'

Alternatively, you can also try to test whether this bug is reproducible with the upcoming Fedora 12 distribution by downloading LiveMedia of F12 Beta available at http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ . By using that you get all the latest packages without need to install anything on your computer. For more information on using LiveMedia take a look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD .

Please, if you experience this problem on the up-to-date system, let us now in the comment for this bug, or whether the upgraded system works for you.

If you won't be able to reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.

I have downloaded Fedora 12 Beta using http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents//Fedora-12-Beta-x86_64-DVD.torrent

Now the installation process is ok. Anakonda is run in graphical mode on first videocard. Picture automaticaly is displayed over DVI port (the old version with single videocard wanted to use S-Video while a monitor was connected over DVI).

Hardware: ASUS M4A79 Deluxe + 2 x Radeon x550.
