I am new to Linux and want to install in graphical mode but my display does
not work properly.  The installer is able to identify my graphics card but
for the monitor it comes up "unknown type." The monitor is an IBM 6549 G96
CRT and the computer is a Dell Dimension 9100 desktop.  All I get on the
screen once it tries to start the native X server for the install are
vertical lines on the screen.  If anyone can help me or know what I need to
type before starting the graphical install I would love to hear it.  Please
Help!!
