Bug 72867

Description of problem:
I am currently using a HP Vectra VE8 - with Pentium II 350MHz CPU and 128Mb 
RAM.  Booting from CD #1 and hitting ENTER to proceed with graphical install 
gets as far as detecting the correct graphics card - "Matrox Productiva G100" 
and the correct monitor via DDC.  However, once the X server has started, all I 
get on the screen is a mixture of densely-packed green, red, white pixels all 
on the right half of the screen which all scroll down very very smoothly.  I 
doubt that it is a problem with monitor frequencies as the OSD of the monitor 
has the Horiz. and Vert. frequencies within acceptable levels according to the 
manual.

The Num Lock, Scroll Lock and Caps Lock keyboard LEDs fail to cycle properly 
when the appropriate keys are hit - I am using standard PS/2 keyboard.  
Unfortunately, CTRL+ALT+Fx fail to work at this point so I cannot even start a 
shell to perform further diagnostics.

I have tried starting the install with 'linux lowres' and 'linux noprobe' at 
the isolinux prompt but the results are the same.  

Admittedly, I have never installed Red Hat or any other distro on this machine 
so I'm not sure if this is a bug with Red Hat hardware detection or simply with 
the X server.

If you require any further information, please feel free to e-mail me at 
tez.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of an interactive console, I couldn't run any 
further diagnostics at this point.  I welcome any suggestions you may have.
