    FC 11 + m17x = gah!

    Alright, so I'm having issues with my FC 11 install on my new laptop. Usually I can figure things out through man pages, but I'm thinking I may have to compile drivers? That makes me a sad/confused panda sometimes. I also haven't messed around with linux for a year, so I'm pretty rusty.

    Issue 1.) RAID 0 NTFS (can't see it)
    Issue 2.) Nvidia 260 GTX (can't see it, and I have 2 of those)
    Issue 3.) Wireless card drivers
    Issue 4.) My screen resolution is 1980x1200, but I can only crank it to 1280x786

    Thats about it for now. I'm just running through pages trying to find help. I know theres a hardware list I should print up for you guys, but I sure can't remember how to do it.

    I can help with the video card drivers:

    you'll need to download and install the nvidia driver for your video card
    after you download, you need to edit your inittab file and set runlevel to 3,
    this will give you a command prompt when you reboot. you'll need to login as root then run the install script.

    once installed, telinit 5 to get to desktop.
