    Hi! I tried to install RH9 on a Medion MD6200 laptop computer. However,
    there seems to be a problem when switching to graphical mode.
    What do I do? First I install the first CD, boot the computer and the
    welcomescreen appears. I press enter and the installation begins. After a
    while the installation switches to graphical mode and then the problem is
    there: the screen showes some strange green and purple colors and that's it.
    As far as I can see, the install-procedure is still working because the
    HD-LED is still blinking.
    But: after a while the installion stops and the only thing I can do is to
    reset my computer.

    So I tried with an installation in text modus. No problems! However, after
    installation, the same problem occurs: computer boots fine but when
    switching to graphic mode the same funny colors.
    Some info:
    processor Pentium 4 - 2,6GHz
    memory: 512MB RAM
    HD: 40 GB
    graphical/video-interface: nVidea GForce FX 5200 with 64MB RAM

    Anyone with an solution?
