It is (normally) possible to get the installation to work by changing the resolution. On the bootloader screen given by the installation CD or DVD (the one used to select Boot From Hard Drive, Installation, etc.) press the F2 key, and select a lower resolution. (Press return again to start the installation.) There are reports of
800*600 or
1028*768 working. Trial and error is needed to find one that works for you.
During the hardware configuration stage of the installation, have at look at the Graphics Card and Monitor settings. You may need to use the "Manufacturer Disk..." option to install the real driver, although it will find something that works. While there, look in the Expert tab, and make sure that
DPMS is enabled, otherwise monitor powersave does not work.
For the Live CD, if you wait for loading to finish, you will probably get a working system in the end. Strangely, I have found that changing the resolution using F2 causes loading to stop part way through!
On changing from a CRT to LCD monitor on an existing installation, the splash screen may be lost. It is possible to recover it; I will add instructions if anyone is interested.
