When the actual install screen comes up I just get a corrupted display. I can just make out what is there and sometimes can see the welcome screen with a button to start/continue the installation. The mouse/cursor works. I can move the cursor anywhere I want but clicking on the messed up looking button does nothing.
I noticed that when starting up Fedora, it mentions found Nvidia unknown device 0092 .
I assume it is defaulting to the VESA driver which seems to have some kind of problem with the 7600GT(even though vesa worked under FC4 for the 7600GT before manually changing it to nv).
If it is defaulting to VESA is there a way to force FC5t3 to use the nv driver instead? It would be interesting to see if the nv driver works.
What does it take to get device 0092 added to the approved nvidia device list so that it is detected properly to use the nv driver?
I am using the x86_64 DVD install btw for an AMD 4000+.

File a bug with the pci id against xorg-x11-drv-nv
Done. The nv driver should be used and would solve the problem but the VESA driver should work with it too as a fallback so that is another issue which I filed a separate bug for.
Since another FC5t4 will not be available to test things further, anyone know how to force the nv driver during installation? Once installed I can manually configure the nv driver if needed. I could always use the text mode but I want to test the gui installer.

I just used 'linux vnc' to attempt an installation which does not cause the corrupt display issue with the VESA driver. Now to figure out how to get passed the conflicts which I posted in another subject so that I can test the installer further.
Thanks for the information on where to post the bug on this in bugzilla.

Except that that PCI ID is already in nv.xinf
