On Beige machines, the radeon will not display until boot is almost complete. This is a solution to a problem that became part of X around 10.3 if I remember correctly. Before that, they said Radeon 7000 was not compatible with Beige.
If you hook your monitor to the native video output you should see and complete the whole bootup and install. I use two monitors and leave one connected to the native port rather than to the second monitor output on the Radeon 7000. This only to see that X booting is in progress. If you have only one monitor, I'm not sure how you get X to switch to the Radeon port after installation. It might just display on it if there's not monitor on the native. But if it doesn't, all your icons and menus will be on an invisible monitor. It's easy, if you have a second monitor, to make the Radeon your primary screen. Maybe someone knows how this can be done without a second monitor. Rich -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
