Help: Install on AMD 64 creates display wash

Yes, I followed Jim's steps, ran from level 3 typed "startx" when I got 
to a login prompt... and I got the screen in a wash of colour again. Drat!!

I don't know how to change the screen resolution from Grub, which was 
the other suggestion.

Is your suspicion that this is a ATI Radion 9200se problem or 
motherboard K8Vse Deluxe problem?

Other distros I was having problems with seem to been getting caught up 
on a usb line.  So, when I disabled USB Legacy Support in bios, that 
cleared up those problems.  But, this is the only distro that I'm 
getting this graphics issue, which sucks, since this is the only distro 
I actually want to use, which I reaffirmed last night after loading 
Mandrake 10 Official and discovering how much I actually missed Fedora.

As an aside, because the ethernet card is built in to the motherboard 
and is sometimes not recognized, what's the workaround for distros like 
Debian and SuSE ftp that do a net install, which is my other main 
install issue?  Is it to simply plug in another ethernet card to the 
motherboard and that will be recognized?

In any case, my priority now is nailing down this Fedora graphics issue 
and, at minimum, and at least establishing if it's a graphics or 
motherboard issue.

I must say, I've had problems of some sort with every distro with this 
new AMD64 and K8V combo.  Perhaps I should have gone with my second 
choice? The Intel P4 3.0 FSB800 & ASUS P4O800 Deluxe motherboard?

Thanks.
