unable to install on my widescreen laptop

Hi,

I have got a Toshiba Satellite laptop with a WIDESCREEN.

When the anaconda start probing the hardware it detects the nVidi chip but it does not detect the monitor... and when the graphical interface should start it... the monitor just displayes some wonderful nice colors

.

I tried text installation... but the problem now with the startup... when the graphical startup is about to begin... I get the same wonderful colors...

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.
