I am getting 1/4 of a screens worth of the Anaconda and runtime

HP DL 140 G3's ATI Rage XL video controller.
The main install option gives garbage graphics and the basic graphics
install option give 1/4 or less of the display on the screen.
I have tried with multiple monitors but get the same results.
Has X.org depreciated the ATI Rage XL video driver ?
Are there any options on startup and on GRUB that may help me ?
Try 'Basic Graphics Mode' (which will give you the VESA driver). And
please do realize your graphics adapter is well over a decade old. ATI
stopped posting official Windows drivers for it in 2002:

limits to how long the F/OSS stack devs are able to work on extremely
old hardware, they don't have infinite resources...
