Hi guys,
I'm trying to do a maiden Linux install on a Dell Dimension 2400, and for some
reason, cannot get a "normal" resolution install GUI, just the low
resolution.
Now, as you can appreciate, this is a pain in the rear with no mouse, as I
want to do an install tailored to the needs of the end user, not a standard
install.
Could it be a VGA driver related issue?
If I recall correctly, it's an Intel on board graphics chip.... I've never had
a problem in the past with these, and I've had MandrivaONE running on the
machine before, with full resolution graphics at 1024x768, to demonstrate the
OS to the "customer".
So now I have a convert to Linux, why cant I get it install as I want it
to? :-)
I've done hundreds of Mandrake/Mandriva installs, and never had one do this!
Help!

This doesn't help you, but I have the same problem with a Dell Dimension
too.
This might help you though ... The low resolution installation screen
though as far as I could tell (comparing it with a graphic install on
another machine)
offers you the same options as the GUI one, just not so nicely
presented, so it shouldn't cause
you a problem??
