Got it! MX-21.3 Wildflower 64 bit version. The last mistake I was making was not properly setting up the partitioning phase of the setup. It's now running in hi res mode and booting up normally. Thanks everyone for your help. Now to see if I can get DaVinci running on this setup.

Looks like the second photo didn't make it . . . .

Downloaded the 32 bit MX iso and forgot to set nomodeset the first time. This is the typical view I get when that happens. When I did set nomodeset in this case I got the result in the second photo. Don't know where to go from there.

Thanks for that. Unfortunately it reports that Apple used both iNvidia and Radeon graphics for the production. The inxi -Fnxz command reports that I have the Radeon version.

Update: I am running live mode MX on USB and unlike all the other installations, it is running in a higher screen res mode. However, the install process from here stalls at formatting and partitioning the drive. Other installs did not have this issue. Looks I could manually partition with...

The article pretty much tracks what I've been doing. It feels like the opportunity to do something about the graphic driver before the install completes is what is missing. I've seen mentions of trying to catch grub in the setup and edit in nomodeset, but have not seen an opportunity to do that...

Adding to the terminal command results posted in reply to an earlier suggestion - At the moment I'm running 22.04.2 Ubuntu desktop from USB in safe graphics mode. Is that the same as using nomodeset in grub? I have tried installs via USB created with unebootin or Etcher using some current...

Thanks. I have downloaded the iso but not yet tried to install it.

Hello, I'm new here and relatively new to Linux. My only real experience came from the limited time I owned a copy of the Novena Heirloom computers I designed with Bunnie Huang. I decided I couldn't justify owning an expensive, special purpose computer that I could not really make use of so...
