You can run anaconda in graphical mode without problems running the vesa driver instead of letting anaconda auto-detect your video card (use "linux vesa" to start installation). After the installation, edit your xorg.conf and replace the i810 driver with the vesa driver (use Driver "vesa"), so you can run X without the video update problem you've described. Then you'll need to select a monitor which supports the resolution you want (use system-config-display and select LCD 1280x800, for example). Look at xorg.conf to see if proper resolutions were added to the Modes line. If not, add manually at least "1280x800". Also check if your default color depth is 16 bits. Download a software named 915resolution (http://www.geocities.com/stomljen/) and use it to replace an unused video mode with 1280x800, since this resolution does not exist in BIOS. 915resolution must be run everytime you boot the computer, so you may want to add it to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local. Reboot the notebook and you will be running X at 1280x800, the mouse pointer will be visible and there will be no redrawing problems. However, the vesa driver is somewhat slow... I didn't manage to run X with i810/i915 drivers on this notebook yet. If it run fine in FC4 as you said, maybe it will work if we downgrade xorg to the FC4 version. Another possibility is to try this driver: http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots/i915-20060403-linux.i386.tar.bz2 However, I did not have the time to experiment with it yet. If you get i810/i915 drivers working, please post. []'s Marcelo
