fedora-list Digest, Vol 63, Issue 16

Hope I do this right.
I have tried to install Fedora 10 on my system and get white screen
My system,
ATI 4870X2
Intel Core i7
6 Gig DDR3 1600
Dual 750 Gig WD Black Drives
(1) Blu Ray
(2) DVDRW
850 Watt Corsair

I have been trying for about a month now to get any Linux with the NON Free
ATI Drivers installed. I want to try out the current KDE 4.2 and to get all
the goodies you need 3D enabled of course.
My question is how to get Fedora installed and once installed will the 3 D
drivers install?
