After the X configuration has been successfully finished, the computer dosn´t respond.
Cause:
The driver dosn´t work with the kernel framebuffer device
Solution:
- Restart the installation and enter at the prompt as follows:
linux vga=normal
this deactivates the framebuffer mode and the installations starts

Then please log in as root and edit the file
/etc/lilo.conf, delete the line vga = xxx. Save
the modified file, execute the command lilo and restart the
