I am still having problems with the system hanging at first time boot up

using an old matrox millennium G something pci card, but asks me to
click an area to bottom right of the screen that is not visible at post
installation first boot stage.

I can't seem to resize the screen and it hangs when I move the mouse to
the edge of the screen.

Is there a way to get it to boot in text mode in case the default screen
settings are too high definition for the card?

To boot in the text mode is fairly easy. If you get the hit any key
message with the countdown, press a key to get the boot menu. (Skip
if you always get the boot menu.)

At the boot menu, press e (edit). Scroll down to the line that lists
the kernel, and press e again. Scroll to the end of the line, and
add a space and 3. Then press b (boot) and the system should boot in
the text mode.
