Problem installing fedora core3 x86-64

[bruce]

hey...

can you provide more information as to your problem. i'm going to guess that
when you start the installation process, you go to the graphics mode, and
the monitor more or less goes crazy, with all kinds of pixel issues/etc...

if this is the case, try to do the install using the text install, instead
of the graphics option. this should get you to be able to install FC3. If
you're having the problem i suspect you're having, it gets down to FC3
properly interfacing with your monitor/video/drivers.

to solve this issue for my system, i had to modify a line with the xorg.conf
file, as well as change my display configuration once i got the install
completed. you may wind up doing something similar.

  Hello,

  I need to use Linux to do my final project, but I'm having trouble to
install the fedora core3 x86-64 on my computer.

  I use the boot CD to boot up the computer, and everything goes well to the
point that it detecting the hardwares. The problem is my screen displays
some noise images(color lines,etc), and I can't continue the intallation. I
noticed that it says the monitor type is: Unknown Monitor.  So does that
mean the OS doesn't support my monitor? Or could it be a problem with my
video card?

  My computer:
  CPU: AMD Athlon 64
  Monitor: Acer AL1913 (19"LCD)
  Video card: GeForce NX6600

  Thank you very much.

  Miaosen
