This is my second request.  Any assistance is resolving this issue is
appreciated...


During the installation of Fedora Core 3 x86_64, anaconda installer starts,
vesa (generic video) detected, unknown monitor.  When the x-server attempts
to start, the video dies.  I tried booting with "linux nofb".  Only
unreadable dialogs appear after using this.  I also attempted to use nofb
and specifying the resolution, and that didn't work either.

This problem is only present during the x86_64 installation.  There is no
issue with the 32-bit installation.  My monitor (ViewSonic LCD VG191) is
detected properly, and everything runs smooth.  I would like to install the
64-bit version, since I purchased a 64-bit processor.

Motherboard:	Gigabyte K8 Triton Micro ATX
			Socket 754 for AMD Athlon64 w/64-bit 3400+ CPU
			VIA VT8237 Chipset
			VIA K8M800 Chipset
				On-board UniChrome Pro Graphics S3 Pro IGP
Hard drive:		Seagate SATA 200GB hard drive
Monitor:		ViewSonic VG191 (LCD)

Is there anyone on this list who has a solution?
