Earl, Fedora 7 comes on a Live CD now (http://fedoraproject.org/) that will allow you to try it out before committing to it. (There's a little icon on the desktop for ease of installation when you are ready to install it.) I'll be installing it on a couple of older boxes here in the short term so I'll let you know how that goes as it sounds like you are having a video problem.
Speaking of Xastir, I've gotten it to function near-perfectly using Fedora 7 on both the 32-bit and the 64-bit versions. If I can be of any assistance, please let me know. 73s, Eric W4OTN >At 05:45 PM 7/19/2007, I wrote: >><snip> >>At one point, I had 25 various xorg files, all different >>iterations of the same thing.
