Trouble with graphics on installing Fedora 12 ppc (early PowerMac G4)

[William M. Quarles]

Hi all,

I'm having trouble with using the Fedora 12 installation CDs on my 
new-old PowerMac G4 that I have acquired. It has a ATI Radeon AGP card 
installed, and I'm using a DVI connection to my monitor. Once I get to 
the graphical install screen, the installation program's box on the 
screen is totally scrambled. The mouse cursor, oddly enough, looks 
perfect. I know that on the i386 distribution I had to use the basic 
video drivers on some of my computers. Is the same true for Fedora 12 on 
the PPC? If so, how do I enable the basic video drivers for 
installation? I've tried booting the installation kernel with "linux 
nomodeset" per a Common F12 bug, but alas nothing different happened.

Thanks,
William
