I have found a partial solution for the installer.Is
posted as well in the NG


OK guys

This is a workaround I found today for those of you who
have problems with the video cards during install.

Note.This WILL NOT WORK IF the CD is BEEING EJECTED.
This will work if you have a garbled screen or no video at all.

So the idea is:The Corel install is running in terminal2 -tty2.
So when you got the first unreadable screen(that will be the license
one)
press CTRL ALT F1.
you get to a shell prompt(console,terminal..whatever you want to call
it)

LINUX is CASE SENSITIVE so type everything as  you see here.

type xf86config

choose your mouse
the devices are
 for serial COM1= /dev/ttyS0
               COM2= /dev/ttyS1

PS2 = /dev/psaux

At the monitor choose for now VGA(I know it's crappy but will do for
install)
At the video card when prompted enter 327 (this is the Generic VGA)
choose color VGA_16
enter the RAM amount of video card

say NO to KBD and Ascii mapping
Don't probe
You will want the installer to modify the symlinks(say YES)
say Yes to save

type startx

now you'll get at the license screen with the inside blank(no text)
since
the text for this is running on tty2 and you're now in tty7
Now click agree and finish install.

after reboot hold SHIFT and choose the console
(alternate boot normal and after you changed the passwords and
you have a desktop-crappy look again in 640X480 and 16 colors)
press CTRL ALT F1(use the CTRL and LEFT on the RIGHT side
of your keyboard)

login as root

type XF86Setup   CASE SENSITIVE remember

now you can play with the settings and options till you'll have the card

properly configured.it's graphical so should be easy.

when it's configured type reboot hit enter and should come up in
a usable look.

ENJOY
