During installation of Fedora Core 6 everything goes as expected up until after the part where you reboot the computer. After I reboot, my monitor turned off and displayed a message saying it couldn't display anything. I can't remember exactly what it said but all I know is before I can finish the installation the monitor just won't display anything. I tried booting up a LiveCD and poking around xorg.conf but theres was hardly anything in there yet. Any suggestions?

Try installing in text mode and configuring the graphics afterwards. Strange and wonderful things can happen; my LCD was configured as a CRT the first time, installed right the second try.
