I have a problem trying to install F11-Preview on my Q6600 (X38 chipset) with an 8800GTS 512. I can't use the graphical installer. Every time I try and install I get kicked back to the "Use text install or VNC install" box. This is a particular problem, because I am "upgrading" the OS, but keeping the /home directory from my current F9 install, and I would prefer to use the GUI to manage that install.

Apparently, X can't detect a monitor, nor can it find /dev/fd0 (I think). I'm asking here because I haven't managed to save the relevant parts of the X.org log to post onto the fedora-test-list.

Any ideas? I've been using both the F11-Preview release and the latest internet install releases of the Boot.iso disk, so I have the latest versions.

Thanks

Andy

Is your monitor connected via DVI?

Yup. Will that be the problem then? If so, I'll be surprised. I think another Bugzilla report is coming from me in th enext day or so.
