I found that if I had the monitor set as a "Dell laptop panel" it wouldn't work at 1400x1050. It would all corrupt. So I set it as a generic LCD 1400x1050 and it works fine. I've got a Radeon 7500 and experienced no problem installing graphically. I don't know much about linux but I imagine you needed to have specified a display mode at the boot prompt of the CD.
