Description of problem:
Graphical installer fails to start on a Dell Inspiron 4000 laptop. The
video card is correctly identified:  ATI Technologies Inc Rage
Mobility M3 AGP 2x rev 2, Mem @ 0xf8000000/26, 0xfdffc000/14, I/O @
0xec00/8
but "no screen could be found".


This was a fresh install -- clean disk -- not an update.

Possible factor: I had a MS Intellimouse plugged into the USB port;
didn't think to unplug it to see if it made any difference.

Text install was successful. During post-install login as root, X
failed to start again. After a quick web search on another machine I
located some random XF86Config file advertised to work w/Dell
inspiron, ssh'd it in, and started X w/o trouble.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
XFree86-4.3.0-35.EL

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.stick RHEL-3 install CD # 1 into Dell Inspiron 4000
2.hit enter for normal install
3.watch X fail
    

Actual Results:  X fails twice and message appears "you can safely
reboot now"

Expected Results:  The graphic installer should have been displayed in
all its glory

Additional info:

Same problem occurred with RH 9. I didn't notice when I installed RH 9
last year because I did an update, not a fresh install.
