aoa well for the s3 2mb vga dont work in rh 8 too . so it means old vga to run with old version :)
well try to install the linux using the graphical
then set ur default mode to graphical
if it still dont work
then change the init level
vi /etc/inittab
set ti to 3
then againn run Cconfigurator
good luck to u
