Darian and Rick,

Thanks for your replys.

Darian you were right, I was trying to install using the video of the 
onboard chip set which is ViA. Today I installed a video card in the AGV 
port and Linux recognized it right away and is now running happily with 
the video card. The video card is and nVidia GForce 4 and seems to work 
just fine.

Thanks for your help,

Carl.
