I am getting 1/4 of a screens worth of the Anaconda and runtime display on F18. It worked alright on F14 and F16. It seems to be to do with the HP DL 140 G3's ATI Rage XL video controller. The main install option gives garbage graphics and the basic graphics install option give 1/4 or less of the display on the screen. I have tried with multiple monitors but get the same results. Has X.org depreciated the ATI Rage XL video driver ? Are there any options on startup and on GRUB that may help me ?
Try 'Basic Graphics Mode' (which will give you the VESA driver). And please do realize your graphics adapter is well over a decade old. ATI stopped posting official Windows drivers for it in 2002: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/legacy-xp.aspx . There are limits to how long the F/OSS stack devs are able to work on extremely old hardware, they don't have infinite resources...
