Bob, & list:

The FC8's installation habits have improved markedly version over
version.  The most recent version (April XX 08) gave me a clean
graphical install on a UP2000.  Perhaps you are using an earlier
release?  I do know some of the the guys that put it together are using
Radeon cards in their build machines, so the graphics drivers should be
OK.

just a thought.

Good luck.
