I experienced similar problems a while back -- the default nvidia
graphics driver (the one that comes with Red Hat) just wouldn't do
graphical mode. I think, in the end, we decided that it either the
monitor (a Samsung 240T, a lovely thing) or the fact that I was using
DVI. I forget which.
The solution was just to do a text mode install -- type "linux text" at
the CD boot prompt. It's not as pretty as the graphical install, but
it works. You can dowload the graphics drivers using lynx or elinks (a
text mode browser) which is always fun. Once you've got the basic
system installed, you can get access to the same install-time package
selection with redhat-config-packages.
