Seems that you can put whatever you want in the "fatdog nomodeset pfix="
line.
If I exit to the prompt in any of the above and enter "xorgwizard" it
won't start the xorgwizard.
If I boot the live cd with "fatdog pfix=ram" the screen is garbled,
ctrl-alt-backspace gets to the prompt but xorgwizard won't run.

Rebooted with "fatdog pfix=ram"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Screen is garbled, hit ctrl-atl-backspace and reboot creating savefile
"nouveau"
Reboot and load "nouveau" save file
X won't start.
do ctrl-alt-backspace.
do xorgwizard-old.
edited xorg.conf and changed line "DRIVER "nouveau" #card0driver"
to "DRIVER "nv" #card0driver"
Reboot and x won't start.
Edited xorg.conf and changed to "DRIVER "vesa" #card0driver"
Reboot and get garbled screen, it's a different color garbled than
pfix=ram bootup.
Rebooted with "fatdog nomodeset pfix=expletive,ram"
and here I am.
The other day I made a bootflash install and used it on my acer revo
nettop computer which has the nvidia ion chip, it got to the desktop
so the nouveau driver works on the that chip, I installed the nvidia
pet to that too, (message a couple of pages back).
The revo install has been running for 3 days, 20:45:55 hours.
