The install went fine. When it spit the DVD out and ebooted the video was awful. The screen apppers to be tearing/sparkly. I had to guess with the Tab key/mouse and Enter to get a user added and go into X. Once there the video is still broken. I tried system-config-display. It says I am running st 640x480 and millions of colors. The size drop-down menu just shows 640x480, the colors millions/thousands. It seems to be much higher display than that though. Too tall for the screen, cannot "mouse down" even near the bottom. I looked in /etc/X11 xorg.conf and it says "vesa" I googled and could not find a fix (had to use this old system) The card is ID as Radeon HD 3450, the box says ASUS EAH3450. It is a fanless 256M PCI Express 2.0 "HDCP compliant" card. The install display was quite nice and I would be happy to see that resolution again. The box barcode read:EAH3450/HTP/256M/A I am using the 15 pin vga output not the DVi-I thanks Mick M. Death before Decaf!!! </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> I have a Radeon 3650 with FC9 with X86_64 fully upto date and can only get vesa mode to work. Initially I tried connecting the 3650 via 15 pin VGA cable but couldn't get it to sync with my Samsun SyncMaster 245B at resolution greater than 1024 x768 ! As soon as I switched to connecting vai a DVI cable the Radeon aitomatically set the resolution to 1920x1200 and synchronised perfectly. Suggest connect via a DVI cable to use the full auto monitor setup via DPMS --A Gray </BODY> </HTML>
