    Post Distro needed for VIA graphics card

    Hi!I installed fedora core 6.Now I have a dual boot system(XP pro+ FC 6).
    But I faced display problem as my onboard via graphics is not properly supported.So please suggest me a distro which can run without any graphics issue on my pc.

    Configuration:
    Motherboard:MSI PM8M-V
    Ram:768 MB (64 shared by onboard via graphics chip)

    I mostly prefer KDE environment.

    did you try "vesa" driver? log in as root and execute this
    Code:
    nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    look for section Device Video Card and set Driver vlaue to "vesa"
    Code:
    Section Device
          Identifier  "videocard0"
          Driver      "vesa"
EndSection
    save file and reboot.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
