update At text install there wasn't a listing of my monitor (apple 15in flat screen 1024x768, dpi 72x72). I didn't know what to pick so i tried a generic one. After install x didnt start and i was left with the choice to login to terminal. When trying startx i got a flicker and this (EE) r128 (0): no DFPz FBIOPUT_VSCRREENFO invalid argument fatal server error addserver/screenlink x server or something very close to that. What can i try? i really need help with this Colin
