Description of problem:
I have tried both to upgrade from core 1 and to install fedora core 3
on a machine that has been running fedora core 1 without a problem for
more then a year.
During the start of the upgrade/installation process anaconda finds
the right graphic card (onboard intel 810) and the right monitor and
the right mouse, BUT

Sometimes the upgrade halts with the monitor showing a lot of
different collared vertical lines. The installation process (as
opposed to the upgrade process) comes a little further, but it doesn't
show the dialog boxes in a readable form, or maybe more correctly, it
doesn't remove the old dialog box before showing the new dialog box
and all those dialog boxes get mixed together, making it impossible to
read anything.

Sometimes I am lucky to identify a dialog box and when I pass my
cursor over the box, some of the text becomes readable. When I scroll
a dialog box, the text is unreadable, When I pass my cursor over the
text it becomes readable.

When I finally (after 2 days of trying upgrading, repairing,
installing, repairing, all things done more times then once), got the
fedora desktop up and running. The dialog boxes still messes up and is
generally unreadable. 3 of the all important menu points doesn't work,
no dialog box folds out when clicking them. It's the system tools, the
system parameters and the accessories points. (I on a windows machine
right now be course my trusted Linux box doesn't work, thank you very
much and I don't remember the English names for the menu points.
