FC3 - no video

I just tried installing FC3.  DVD Media check passed.  After hardware 
detection correctly lists my ATI Radeon 7500 All in Wonder and Viewsonic 
VX900 19" LCD panel I get a blank screen (actually my LCD monitor 
displays an "Out of Range" error message).  The installer has apparently 
gone into a graphics mode that the LCD panel does not understand.

If I boot the install disk with 'linux nofb' it does the same thing.

If I boot with linux text I can do a text mode install.  Then when it 
tries to boot the installed operating system I get the 'Out of Range' error.

My previous install of FC2 was using a CRT.  I have since upgraded to 
the LCD panel.  FC2 had no problems when I setup the panel.  I no longer 
have the CRT monitor to try.

Fortunately I can still boot into Win2k.  I am looking for suggestions 
on how to proceed.
