I think you have to continue the install to the point where it lets you run tests on your video setup. 640 by 480 is good enough to complete the installation process.

After other install steps a dialogue should come up allowing you to choose the detected video card and monitor and set the default resolution for the server.

Journey on into Linux and it should work out all right.

If you have already completed the installation, then you should be able to change screen resolution in the little control panel in the gnome gui for FC 4.

Steven,

thanks for the reply, i will try this later tonight...

i was hopping since the proliant 1600 with a 17" compaq monitor are rather old that the installation should complete without this guess the button game on fedora

by the way... does this appends in other linuxs, like suse?

Thanks again
Joaquim

You can boot in single user or multi user mode an then change the video resolution.

At the grub prompt, type "a", then "single" or just "3", then enter.

After booting, run:

system-config-display

Or to set a generic video driver use:

system-config-display --reconfig --set-driver=vesa

Then run system-config-display again to set the resolution and monitor type.
