	Hi all,

I am still in my installation process of FC1 on my Dell inpiron 5150.

The installation was fine but I am unable to find a right display setting.

I have a UGXA 1600*1200 lcd and I have already tried the following choices
during install:

- the Dell 1600*1200 LCD 
- the LCD 1600*1200

Neither worked and the result is a blurry screen.

Now I am trying LCD 640*480.

If anyone has some helpful info...

BTW, I have also a USB 3buttons mouse but I had to choose
the PS2 setting otherwise the system hanged at bot time.

Once the display issue will be solved, I will see if the
PS2 setting is ok for my USB mouse. Otherwise...

Well well well...
