Averatec 3150h Display doesn't work

[moslof]

I've been trying to setup fedora core 4 on my Averatec 3150h but i have had a lot of trouble getting the display to work. i was able to get through the setup just by using the text installer but when i boot up fedora everything is displayed in the lower right hand corner and i can't see anything or change the display settings. If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

What kind of video card is built into the laptop? I had a lot of trouble installing FC5 on my Averatec 3225HS with the S3 Unichrome video card. I found that it will work with the "vesa" driver but not the "via" driver. I had to install with the Option: vesa
It works, but you won't have acellerated graphics.
