I picked up a used Dell OptiplexG260 from the university surplus. I
assume it had WinXP on it (didn't look). I slipped in the FC6
install #1, and ran through the install in text mode, because I got
this message:
_X11TranSocketINETConnect() can't get address for localhost :6001 :
Temporary failure in name resolution Cannot open display ":1"
After install, it boots to login, rather than graphic. Do I have to
do something about wiping drive, before installing FC6 from CD? How
do I correct display, and get graphics running in runlevel 5 at
boot? Any pointers to steps greatly appreciated.
If you're feeling lucky, you can try:
# system-config-display --reconfig
and maybe that will work where the installer failed. If so, then you
just need to change 3 to 5 in the id:3:initdefault: line in
/etc/inittab.
So far, I've tested install with two monitors. Same result. I logged
in as root and ran:
># startx
with version info and legend coming up, followed by:
(EE) i810(0): No Video BIOS modes for chosen depth
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration
The legend says, the (EE) means error. I'm not sure where the
computer is looking for Video BIOS modes for chosen depth. Is there a
universal Video BIOS modes command I can enter at boot to get computer
to boot into runlevel 5?

Excellent! Thanks, much. Logged in as root, and ran:
># system-config-display --reconfig --set-resolution 1024x768
--set-depth 16
Then, ran:
># startx
and it works!
I reset the /etc/inittab file to boot in runlevel 5 .
