Question wrong Graphics card been detected

HI,

I am trying to install fedora 9 on my desktop. I have a onboard graphics card that I don't use , I have a PCI-e ATi Radeon card that I do use. I have told the bios that the radeon is the default card to use. But fedora detectes the onboard card when it tries to start the installer. Is there anyway I can tell the installer to use the right card. or do i need to install fedora in text mode and then some how set it up to use the right card , I did try this but I couldnt get x-windows to start.

If anyone knows of a solution that would be great.

Martin

Hello-

If your bios has an option to disable the onboard video, then that is what you need to do.
