Rawhide is now f10 snap2++
Maybe the video answer you seek is here -
http://wiki.antlinux.com/pmwiki.php?n=HowTos.VgaModes
That link describes using vga=xxx which is what I use to have more
space on the console. What I was looking for was something like
xdriver=vesa or something similar.
I updated this morning and made sure to add nomodeset. It doesn't
affect the problem with "wiggle" in the video at 1920x1200.
