Hope I do this right. I have tried to install Fedora 10 on my system and get white screen My system, ATI 4870X2 Intel Core i7 6 Gig DDR3 1600 Dual 750 Gig WD Black Drives (1) Blu Ray (2) DVDRW 850 Watt Corsair
I have been trying for about a month now to get any Linux with the NON Free ATI Drivers installed. I want to try out the current KDE 4.2 and to get all the goodies you need 3D enabled of course. My question is how to get Fedora installed and once installed will the 3 D drivers install?
