Description of problem: Can't successfully perform graphical installation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 14 X86-64 Alpha How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Begin installation from DVD 2. Accept defaults 3. Installation proceeds to "Running Anaconda 14.15, Please Wait" Actual results: After several seconds the monitor goes blank and the monitor indicates no signal and goes into power saving mode. Allowed the system to run 15-20 minutes; no sign of activity (no activity from hard drive or DVD) and system never came back. Expected results: Installation completes successfully Additional info: System is an AMD Athlon II X2, 780G with integrated graphics, and SB700 southbridge. Was able to successfully install F14 Alpha by choosing "use basic video", and system came up using the VESA driver. However, I could not discover how to switch to the Radeon driver.

That was the issue. Sigh. I really should have read the notes first. Thank you for being kind... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 596985 ***
