OEL On Microsoft Virtual PC

723606Sep 21 2009 — edited Dec 21 2009
I am trying to install OEL 5.3 on Microsoft Virtual PC (Vista, 64 bit). However, there is something wrong with the display settings. The display is illegible, and I cannot figure out how to force a specific display setting. I think the problem is that that OEL is defaulting to a color depth of 24 bit, and Virtual PC is expecting 16 bit. I can get an installation to complete using the non-gui installation, but when I do that, I cannot get the mouse to work after completing the installation. How do I set the OEL color depth and video card when I run the initial installtion? I have tried using the noprobe option, but no luck
