FC3 problem... no graphics on what I think is a savage s3?

[Kahn Seidl]

Ok, so I tried to install fc3 on this laptop, and even before it goto the 
media test, it went all crappy.  I first booted with linux nofb, and it 
worked, for the media test, but then after that it didnt work.  so, I had to 
do

$linux text nofb

And I was able to install it.

ON another note, I tried running auditor, and it worked only in safe mode.  
Where it booted into X.  so, I am assuming it uses a generic Vesa driver?  
Dunno, but X worked fine then.

so, here is what I am thinking now...   I can get fedora to boot up in run 
level 3.  But I cant remember where the conf file was to change what driver 
it loads?  Or , am I in the right direction?  can anybody make any 
suggestions?

This laptop is a little on the older side and actually has a 1.2ghz via 
processor.

Thanks,
Martin
