please note that I am having some trouble geetting the Java verison of Bugzilla to carry my notes over to this form. Thus I have copied my notes from another page into this form to make sure you get them. Not sure what I am doing wrong, maybe Opera is causing the issue? DESCRIPTION When installing RH 7.1 on a PIII host system using Virtual PC (VPC)as a Host Machine the installer senses the wrong S3 video card or loads incorrect drivers. This may or may not be a RH issues in that the VPC emulation may be wrong. REPRODUCING THE BUG 1.install the RH 7.1 product, accept the video card as probed, click to the next install window, click test, click accept or do not accept after viewing the test desktop and then watch the monitor become distorted, low rez and 16x9 aspect ratio. ACTUAL RESULTS After clicking accept or do not accept when viewing the test desktop the next screen is low rez, distorted and appears to be at the wrong aspect rato EXPECTED RESULTS The screen should be at the correct resolution ADDITIONAL INFORMATION It is very important that you select the basic S3 from the Generic category. Not the S3 xxx, juts the one listed as S3. My question to you is: are there issues with your S3 drivers in the installation program or is the Virtual PC emulation wrong? THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE VERIFIED AND THEN DOCUMENTED ON YOUR WEBSITE since VPC is a new product and more people will be using it.
