can't install F10 on Compaq w/ ASUS mb

[Michael Klinosky]

Hello.
I have a Compaq Presario SR1220, onto which I installed F7. Now, I'm
trying to put F10 on it, and hitting only roadblocks.

It has an ASUS mb, model P4GV-LA. It uses the intel 845GV chipset. I 
found, on
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f10/en_US/What_is_New_for_Installation_and_Live_Images.html
- in section 2.6.2 Python - that kernel modesetting drivers for intel 
are in the works. Is there some website that gives the status of this 
work? Or, is there someone here that knows?

For now, I'm wondering if I'm doing things properly. In that section, 
the forth bullet states my exact situation (video 'noise'). So, I tried 
adding 'nomodeset' to the boot options line (i.e. 'Hit TAB to enter boot 
options.') However, that doesn't fix anything. I also tried (in turn) 
noprobe, skipdc, rhgb, and vga=0x318 -- still no joy.

I did try 'noprobe nomodeset'; the boot process got a little further, 
but then it bombed at the install method screen. I selected 'CD/DVD', 
and it complained that it couldn't find a Fedora disk.  :((    (I was 
using the DVD.)

To summarize, I need to know the status of the intel video drivers (for 
Python) and if I'm using the boot command line properly (to disable 
modeset).
