I had recently installed a computer which had VIA chipset on it's motherboard... (graphic, audio), and it gave me a lot of trouble during installation. The driver that comes with the Xfree used in anaconda during the installation didn't support the resolution, or it failed to detect the monitor (but the I put in doubt the last one, because it is a Samsung syncmaster, and not a very new one). To install FC4, you must do the normal process, but when X start, what I did, was to change the resolution of X using Control+Alt++ (yes, the last key is plus, or minus). This will change the resolution of your computer. This worked for me. During the start of grub, you have to change de kernel line, and wipe out the "rhgb". Then start FC normally, and the first thing you should do is to upgrade X. This can be done with yum, apt-get, up2date, etc, etc. PS: The chipset are VIA, but the graphic chipset is nomrally a S3 Savage, Twister, etc. Maybe the problem was the S3 driver?????, Bugzilla will tell. > I've searched the archives and can't seem to find a solution. > Thanks for the help. > Dave Hans -- Arturo Alejandro Hoffstadt Urrutia Estudiante Ingenieria Civil Informática ahoffsta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "La Magia existe, solo debes buscar mejor"
