I am an avid Fedora user and when trying to install FC3 on a motherboard with an Intel 810 Chipset, 500Mhz Celeron , 256MB RAM, and the normal other stuff after I select skip on the check media test and it detects the SAMTRON monitor and 810 onboard graphics and that such but when It starts X right before it asks what I want to install I just get these multicolored lines that fill up the entire screen...... so basically when X tries to start for the installer I get multicolored lines and they never go away. How do I fix this? Im using the onboard graphics and have installed Linux on the same mobo and CPU before fine. The beginning part of FC3 works fine its just when it starts X with the onboard graphics. I tried swappign the 2 x 128MB SDRAM but acheived the same dissapointign results. Does anyone have any ideas how to get the install wortkibng?

For the hard drives im using 2 x 12GB IDE drives which right now has Windows installed on them.

Well, when you boot off the CD, it tells you how to do a text mode install right there on the boot screen ...

Hmmm I would like to do a graphical install if possible, I have no idea why this is messing up when lainching X since it worked before.... Anyone else have any ideas?

any other ideas? anyone?

Well, it looks like the Intel 810 is a reported issue with graphics problems.....

It worked fine previously but whatever the case it doesnt want to work now.. At that link a new 810 graphics driver is available but I think ill just add Option "NoAccel" "Yes" or whatever since this machine wont be used for anythign 3d, just running Samba and Apache for the most part.
