Xserver appears to not start

I'm running the Fedora preview LiveCD on a Toshiba Satellite A135-S2386. My graphics card is a Radeon Xpress 200M.

When I get to the point on the CD where the xserver should start, all I get is a bunch of black-and-white lines, what I would call "static" on a TV. This didn't alarm me at first, because I always get this briefly when I start up my current distro, Kubuntu. Furthermore, the mouse appears, and I can move it. But after that, nothing seems to happen. However, I'm not sure if I'm waiting long enough, and so I'm not sure if I should file a bug report.

Other potentially relevant info:

I know that my graphics card is one of the ones that is no longer supported by ATI.

When I burned the CD, K3B gave me an "error" signal at the very end. However, when I try to verify the CD, everything seems fine.

Furthermore, this CD runs fine on a different computer that I've tried it on.
