i815 graphics

[Russell Coker]

I've just got a couple of new (to me) Compaq P3-800 machines with i815 
graphics on the motherboard.

When I try installing FC3 as well as the usual problem of every second attempt 
crashing the machine when it enters graphics mode I have another problem.

At the stage of getting to selecting packages the screen does not update.  The 
dialog box "Reading Package Information..." remains on the screen, and then 
when I move the mouse cursor it changes the background color of "Install 
Default Software Packages" and "Customize Software Packages to be Installed" 
radio button text and thus causes them to appear (but the "Reading Package 
Information..." dialog is still on screen).

If I continue then subsequent screens have the same problem and a graphical 
install is not feasible (and I imagine that if I did complete the install I 
would not be able to use X due to the same bug).

Anyone else seen similar bugs?
