<pre>On Intel D525MW motherboard (dual core atom inside) anaconda in f19 shows only
a unmovable mouse cursor if booted without nomodeset. With nomodeset, install
can proceed, After install, without nomodeset Gnome3, Cinnamonn, Mate and Xfce
show no desktop icons and no panels. With nomodeset, all these are shown even
though X uses software rendering to display them, thus heating the processor.

Panels and desktop icons are there

More info:
On the other hand, i"ve seen keyboard locked, when booting with nomodeset and
, when using text interface, sometimes (most of the times?) the screen gets
scrambled with coloured numbers and other chars, after typing a few lines (like
user name and password). Switching back to GUI and then back to text, seems to
restore text visibility.
I"ll attach the other required info after rebooting with drm.debug=0x06 and
without nomodeset.</pre>
