I just installed F10 on my IBM NetVista 8305 machine. During installation, I was having problems with the display so i did the text only install. I went in after, edited /etc/inittab, and rebooted, but when the GUI starts up, my screen goes crazy and freezes up. Never seen anything like it, but before i edited the /etc/inittab the OS worked fine in the command line....I think its a graphics driver problem, but im not sure where to get the drivers i need, or how to install them once i do since my machine freezes on startup...any ideas would be extremely helpful, thank you

You may have issues with your machine do to your video card, processor, and ram. It should work in text mode but if you want the GUI, you will probably have problems.
