F10 install: no X server

Hello,

  I'm trying to install F10 i386 on a recent dual core ASUS motherboard
with a embedded Nvidia GeForce 8200 and the X server fails to start.  I
tried OpenSUSE 11.1 (both i586 and x86_64) and it works fine.  But I
don't like OpenSuSE for various reasons and would like to install
Fedora 10.

lspci yields a whole bunch of Nvidia devices (see below).  I've first
tried with the F10 respin and thought that since it's respin well, it
can be broken in some ways.  The respin could not start the X server
also.  It's xorg.conf file showed 16 different screens and monitors.  I
tried limiting that to one single screen and monitor, but to no avail.
It looks like for some reason all the Nvidia PCI components as shown
below were taken as video components and put in the xorg.conf file.

So I'm not going further with installing F10 since the same thing as
with the respin is seen.  Basically: 'no screens found'.

I did some search and could not find something about htis problem. 

Anyone got a fix ?  It'd be very much appreciated.
