FC 4 install problems

| Hi All,
I had FC4 installed on my HP machine and it was working
well using the on board video Intel chip set. Until I bought a new
video card nvidia G-Force FX 5500 in hopes that I could upgrade my
video capabilies. What happens now when I try to install a fresh copy
of FC4 with the new video baord in place, the install hangs right
before it prompts you to test the cd with cryptic code messages.
What bothers me is that even though I have told the bios to ignore the
onboard viseo card it still hangs. But windoze recognizes the new
card?
Please help me get rid of windoze on this machine.
Thanks,
inty

Why do you think you need to install FC4 again???? Boot the system into
runlevel 3 and modify/replace the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
Start the system as you normally do, when the grub boot screen is displayed
hit any key. Select the Linux boot choice and press the 'e' key. Highlight
the line that begins with something like kernel /vmlinuz and press the 'e'
key again. At the end of the line add a space followed by the number three
(3). When done press the ''Enter' key followed by the 'b' key. When the
system is done booting log on as root and then type something like;
system-config-display --reconfigure

Hi Lenard,
I will try your suggestion.
