I have....

Odd that it won't at least come up with vesa though.  Can you run X with

Doesn't even let me use X -configure, refuses to create an xorg.conf,  I've
blow out rawhide on here now because of it, cause I was lacking sleep and
got irritated ;)

I can re-install if you want to go through and figure out why.  I know "we"
shouldn't buy hardware with "cards" that aren't open source, but uh we do
and like you said, it works with vesa in fc6 and I can promise when F7 comes
out, I'm not the only one with a laptop and this card.
