Video Card and Mouse problem during installation

Hi,

I have a system with the following configuration:
CPU: Intel Pentium III 700 MHz
HDD: Seagate 20GB
Motherboard: Intel 810
SoundCard: Onboard
VideoCard: Onboard
Mouse: Logitech First Three button mouse

Issue 1: (Very Important)
When I was installing Fedora 3 on my system, during
the hardware probing I noticed that it would detect my
Video Card correctly, but it used to produce a
distorted blue screen, with garbled text at the
bottom. Anyway I went ahead with the installation and
managed to install it. When using Fedora 3 in Gnome
enviroment I wouldnt be able to see the drop down
menu. Incase I managed to see one (that is by moving
the mouse over and over the screen), and naviagted to
Screen Resolution, My monitor would automatically show
a black screen with distortion on it. I would like to
know whether fedora is compatible with such an old
system as mine (though I feel it should be since it
contains all the drivers)

Issue 2: (Serial mouse is detected as parallel mouse
during installation)
My mouse isnt detected at all during the installation
process and I have to navigate through using the
keyboard. I never faced such an issue with RHL9. Any
reason why is it doing so, even though I have nothing
conected on my parallel port.
