When I try to install FC5 test3 from a DVD I get blank screen just after detecting VGA (Intel Corporation 82865G) and monitor (LCD Hyundai L50S). I have tested different variants of "linux vga=..." but without luck.
When I install FC4 on the same machine everything is OK lspci 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
When I try the FC5 test3 installation on another machine (with Intel 915) it works fine.
Driver problem in FC5 ?

I did not expect any problems upgrading a computer with an 865G card. Thanks for bringing the problem to attention. I kind of wish the problem was discovered earlier. I however did not test on the computer with the 865G video expecting that having it work with the 815 would transfer over to the 865G card which seems a bit more sturdy of a card.
- Boot into runlevel 3 as root - Make sure xorg-x11-drv-i810 is installed - Check that "i810" is listed as the driver used in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
If it fails, try running system-config-display. See if the video and monitor is setup correctly. Use a your preferred resolution setting from the menus. Exit s-c-display and change to another terminal. In the second terminal, login as a normal user. Run startx with the settings that you selected. If it fails run s-c-display again with lousier resolution settings. Switch back the regular user terminal and try again.
You should file a bug report against xorg-x11-drv-i810 in bugzilla with the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file as an attachment and your /etc/X11/xorg.conf as an attachment.
I had a similar problem with an S3 graphic video and had to settle for 800x600 resolution to have X working. You might be able to use that resolution on the 865G video but it works with 1280x1024 at 24 depth and runs 3D applications fair.
I hope this problem is fixed soon.

Rereading your posting, it sounds like you are having a problem with the installer. I will try out the installer from the DVD tomorrow. Meanwhile you might need to run the installer in text mode.
I might be able to capture what is going on through the serial port to hyper-terminal on the computer that I have which uses the 865G.
What happens if you pass Linux resolution=800x600 to the installer?
Jim
Linux resolution=800x600 gives the same result, -blank screen. Also Ctrl+Alt+F1/F7 does not work

Someone else claimed the option helped him during X problems for Intel 810/815 class cards. I never passed the parameter and instead did a text install with 'linux text' at the time. Upgrading with linux text does not prevent you from installing GUI software as some suppose by the name. It allows you to select all packages with dialog boxes in order to select the options and packages during install.

I am uncertain as to which stage you are reaching during the install attempt. Are you making it through the install up to the point where you can see the installer screen? (I made it up to selecting an upgrade and the failure was due to an exception.
Have you attempted to do a Linux text install to see if you can configure X post-install?
Also if you do get to where you install the system somewhat, there is an install log within the the /root directory for the install.log (Mine was an upgrade attempt and was zero bytes within the upgrade.log)
I filed bug below. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=185115
Also I included an attachment containing logs sent out the serial port for the installer kernel and logs which were in the /tmp directory during the install and when the exception occurred. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=125954 intf.ppw.ics.cw.id.xsetup.xhwstate.videocard_name: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller intf.ppw.ics.cw.id.xsetup.xhwstate.video_ram: 0 intf.ppw.ics.cw.id.xsetup.xhwstate.videocard_driver: i810 intf.ppw.ics.cw.id.xsetup.xhwstate.videocard_options: [] intf.ppw.ics.cw.id.xsetup.xhwstate.vsync: 56-76 intf.ppw.ics.cw.id.xsetup.xhwstate.physical_height: 270 intf.ppw.ics.cw.id.xsetup.xhwstate.probed_vsync: 56-76 intf.ppw.ics.cw.id.xsetup.xhwstate.physical_width: 340 intf.ppw.ics.cw.id.xsetup.xhwstate.hsync: 30-81 intf.ppw.ics.cw.id.xsetup.xhwstate.probed_physical_width: 340 intf.ppw.ics.cw.id.xsetup.xhwstate.xconfig: None intf.ppw.ics.cw.id.xsetup.xhwstate.all_resolutions: [640x480, 800x480, 800x600, 1024x600, 1024x768, 1152x768, 1152x864, 1280x800, 1280x960, 1280x1024, 1400x1050, 1440x900, 1600x1200, 1680x1050, 1900x1200, 1920x1200, 1920x1440, 2048x1536] intf.ppw.ics.cw.id.xsetup.xhwstate.videocard: primary: 0 vidCards: [<rhpxl.videocard.VideoCard instance at 0xb7e7926c>] Primary Video Card Info: device: None driver : i810 descr : Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller vidRam: 8000

I take it this is firstboot where you are having the problem. The installer seemed to work fine regarding the installer. I did not make it through the upgrade process to try firstboot. I did notice an error in one of the logs regarding the i910 kernel module and a DRM error.
Attached text.

I am uncertain if the i910 module should be used for the 865G video. I assume that when the numbers go up, the card is a later addition. The i810 kernel module being used is what I thought was supposed to be used.
