This may not be the answer to your question.
when I installed FC2 to Dell Optiplec GX270. There was
X window problem. Can't recall the exact preblem, but
someting to do with color depth setting => scree
configuration. I get a 865patch installed and boot it
prior to X server. It worked.
965 patch from
http://www.chzsoft.com.ar/855patch.html
Good luck
