Today I've been installing F17 RC4 i386 on a system with a ATI RAGE 128 video card.
The Live CD made my monitor display a message: "Cannot Display this Video Mode". I then tried the DVD. Installation went fine. At the end of installation I pressed the Reboot button and I got the above monitor message again. I couldn't see the grub menu. After the 5 second grub timeout, I could see hard drive activity, but monitor still had above message. Next, I booted off the DVD again and selected Troubleshooting > Rescue a Fedora System >From the shell prompt, I examined the Xorg.log. Relevant lines: ------------------------------------------------------ Failed to load module "r128" (module does not exist, 0) ... VESA BIOS detected VESA VBE Version 2.0 VESA VBE Total Mem: 32768 kB VESA VBE OEM: ATI RAGE128 Setting up VESA Mode 0x124 (1280x1024) VBESetVBEMode failed, mode set without customized refresh ------------------------------------------------------ I found xorg-x11-drv-r128-6.8.2-1.fc17.i686.rpm in the Fedora 17 repo. I installed it and rebooted. As before, I couldn't see the Grub menu, but eventually I was presented the graphical Welcome screen and the system runs well. How can I get the grub menu to be visible? Thanks, Allen
