I believe on a FreeBSD box, I was able to get one of those Unichrome
thingies working by choosing via as the driver. (Manually editing
xorg.conf).
N.B. It was a different cheap onboard card (PCChips MB in a tower)
but might be worth a shot anyway.
Thanks for that info.
But do you have any Ideal howto set video before before boot process
starts, and pass to kernel "vesa 800x600" ,
so I can get video, to get Fedora 9-KDE-live to install on
harddrive.
You could pass "xdriver=vesa" to the isolinux boot prompt.

Sebastian, Thanks for the suggestion, it worked, but as soon as the boot process goes past "udev"
the screen goes purple and when X starts it starts loading the Desktop and after completion of Desktop
loading as soon as I do click on the mouse button, the screen locks up and ctrl-alt-backspace won't even help,
I have to hit the shutoff button and reboot.
I think I having problems with mouse settings.
I have downloaded a install disk instead of the "Live" disk so I can install then have control over my xorg.conf.
Can I pass onto the kernel "text" to install in the text mode ?
