Description of problem: Well, indeed I have got an old compaq Deskpro -pentium 3- with an Compaq S710 screen and I use it for test purpose. Thus, I have tryed to install the new update -3- of the Red Hat Advanced Server on it. Ok, I know that it is not the best platform to install this OS. But it only for test you know. Anyway, I have a little problem with the graphical wizard during the installation. Indeed, it does not work properly. I have multiple line of different colors. Nothing readable. Of course, in order to bypass this problem I use the text installation however it is less user friendly. Agree with me? Well, I thinks it is due to a bad diplay setting set by anaconda. By the way, it works fine with the first release of RHAS 3 and the video card is ATI but I am not sure; the vga compatible controller is Intel Corp. 82815 CGC. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Red Hat Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 3) How reproducible: Well, Have the same device provided in the Compaq Desktop EN and a Compaq S710 screen and do a basic grphical installation. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have the same device provided in the Compaq Desktop EN 2. Insert the RHAS V.3 Update 3 3. Begin the Installation and wait after the first graphical screen. 4. You should see what is the problem. Actual results: The screen is a kind of multicolor line. Expected results: The graphical installation should appear. Additional info: Well, I you have any question... You know my email address. Best Regards Fred
Does it work better if you boot with 'linux nofb'?
Unfortunatly, it does not work better. Even if I did not mention it in my provious message. I had already try this trick. Sorry to have forgotten to mention it. Best Regards Fred

If you boot the installer into text mode and hit ctrl-alt f2 can you paste the output of: python -c "import kudzu; print kudzu.probe(kudzu.CLASS_UNSPEC,kudzu.BUS_DDC,kudzu.PROBE_ALL)" Do you have a monitor INF file with the monitor?
