FC 9 - A Step Back

FC9 which was released probably a week back would be expected to have support for the latest harware. But, for some reason, the X server could not handle the Geforce 7025 onboard graphics. This was seen in almost every other distro I tried so far as well, which leads me to conclude that FC9 is not a step ahead.
On the other system with the ATI Radeon 200 onboard graphics, no distro had faced a problem, but FC9 did. Though X loaded this time, the taskbar did not, so I was unable to launch any programs or check the menu options. Since the live distro had these issues, installing it to the hard disk is not planned.
