So let me start off as
1. This is my first post at this forum and it's great to meet you all
2. I'm a linux newb and have been trained on Windows most my life and the god forsaken Vista has Finally led me to try something a little more secure and stable.

So down buisness I'm having problems with my fedora 10 box, The graphics keep going crazy at install so I edited the star Commands to run in "vesa nomod set" So that let me get threw the install. But my monitor keeps lagging and its probably due to drivers errors so I ran "lspci" and this is my video card


00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03)

Can you all please help me to get this working right? I would appreciate any help.

Well, I can at least tell you how to look around the Forum for similar issues, including this thread: http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=209399

What you should do is go to Dan's thread on Searching on the Read This First Forum. On the bottom of his thread is a way to set up Google in Firefox to search the Forum. That's your best method, IMHO. So, with it enabled, plug in "82845G" and you'll get a series of other threads and issues that may help you with the solutions they've found.

The key thing to remember in the Forum is that with 136,000 members, you're seldom the only one with a problem. If you know how to search, you can generally find answers and don't have to wait for others to find you.
