This works nicely.

Reboot to update to Fedora Core in graphical mode.

Anaconda starts up. I get three lines: My video card: S3 ProSavage Km133; My monitor: NEC FE700+; My mouse: 3 button generic. I expect the X server to display the install screen and I get a black screen.

What is really agravating, is that I was using Fedora installed on an older M/B.
I certainly would not reccommend a MachSpeed M/B for a linux installation.
I've been to ViaArena drivers page and to Robo's site. I tried Option "UseBios" "no" per Robo's reccomendation. Give me other things I can try, PLEASE.

I didn't mention that when I first tried to use the savage driver that came with RH8 It didn't work. I replaced it with the RH8 driver from Robo's page. xf42sav.tgz the later versions: xf43xxxxx and xf44xxxxx didn't work for me.
