Hi Karl F. Larsen!

Sounds like you are doing good research, but do like your video!

More power to ya!

If I were doing what you are doing my next step would be to see what
Knoppix and/or Ubuntu comes up with for drivers and
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.   I would then use that, if I liked the results,
to guide me setting up Fedora.

Good Hunting!
