  chances are good that's true.  what's curious, however, is that
*some* distros (debian, suse) work just fine with that video chip.

  i downloaded it maybe three days ago:

http://fedora.roving-it.com/FedoraMoblin12-Beta2-LiveCD.iso

suggests issues should be posted here or to the fedora-devel list.  is
there an even newer spin i can test?
