I have installed onto an opteron system with an old matrox millenium
card but when first time boot started it requested me to click on an
area of the screen (bottom right) which was not displayed, and when I
mooved the mouse toward it, the system froze.
So I swapped in a 3Dlabs Oxygen card in case the Matrox was
underpowered, but now it cannot start X and hangs with a little orange
icon at the top left corner of a blank screen!
I tried to re-install but had the same problem again, the DVD ISO passed
the test.
The motherboard (Tyan Thunder) has PCI-Express slots, can anyone suggest
a solution or recommend a PCI-Express video card or chipset compatible
to Fedora &?
You may have your graphic terminal in a bad mode. Try entering
Alt_Cntl_+ (maybe multiple times) and see if the mode changes. If not
you can install in text mode, although as I recall some optional stuff
is available, don't remember what.
