I installed RC2 on a spare SATA drive on my home PC which has a 
Gefore 5600. Upon first loading the NVidia driver (173.x if I 
remember right), during display setup, it took a dump and the screen 
became garbled with red flashing boxes. AFter a reboot and trying 
again, everything worked fine. Did you by chance try rebooting and 
loading the drivers once more?

>4.  Intel Video Success:

>RC2 works great on Intel 82855 chipset ("ExtremeGraphics 2").
