Hello, i do not know if this helps at all but I have a HP Compaq d330 with a intel 82865G Integrated Graphics controller an I too have the same issue described in this thread. I have tried running F10 snapshot3 i686 KDE4 live cd. The booting of the live cd fails when starting X, nor do i get a nice graphical plymouth boot. extract from my xorg.0.log: X.Org X Server 1.5.2 Release Date: 10 October 2008 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 i686 Current Operating System: Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.27.3-34.rc1.fc10.i686 #1 SMP Tue Oct 21 01:39:53 EDT 2008 i686 Build Date: 20 October 2008 10:41:26AM Build ID: xorg-x11-server 1.5.2-8.fc10 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.
