Comments/Problems:Install went very smoothly until Video card selection, then 
it choked.  
I have a Diamond Stealth III s540 AGP card.  There were no selections for this 
card in the 
setup screen.  The system highlighted VESA for the driver.  It works, but the 
video resulution 
is 800 x 640 max.  Far too coarse for my taste.  What driver selection should I 
have used?

I need the correct driver for this card.  It is possible, Fedora detects and 
installs the card 
flawlessly.

Incidently, I switched because you folks have Ham Radio packages that I want to 
try.  I can't 
make any Ham packages work in Fedora

Thanks

Thanks for the quick response!  I'm pretty new with Linux, so
hopefully, this is what you need.

More information about the Stealth II card -
Mine is dated 1999.  P/N is 28030530-002.  S/N is 1501400211860.
Processor is S3 Savage4 Pro+
Resolution capability is 640 x 480 - 1920 x 1440
refresh range is 60 - 200 hz

On my first install of Debian, I selected Savage from the menu, but gdm
chocked and said it couldn't continue.
I re-installed from scratch and selected VESA (the automatically
selected option).  gdm worked and started X, but at very low
resolution.  I'd really like to use the full resolution of my card and
monitor - what can I do?

Thanks for the help,
Dave

What does lspci show?
