Bug#430545: Display goes off at the mid of installation

There is no easy way to fix it for now apart from not probing at all but that might generate buggy xorg.conf. However, we expect xresprobe to be dropped in the long term thanks to the server autoconfiguration features. I'm not sure that the xserver's autoprobing is going to be a whole lot better than what xresprobe is doing. We may have to keep in mind what sort of broken hardware can cause the probe to fail like this and possibly work around it in the server if it doesn't already. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The most likely explanation I can come up with is that when XOrg is being set up it probes your hardware and that that somehow results in the broken display. This seems to me a bug in the XOrg driver or maybe the kernel driver for your graphics controller (or maybe your hardware is not detected correctly). To complete your installation, I would suggest not selecting the desktop task during the installation. The problem should then be avoided and you can still install XOrg and Gnome/KDE after rebooting into the new system. Reassigning this report to the XOrg team so they can furter investigate this issue with you. Cheers, FJP pgpaN5jluInwL.pgp Description: PGP signature

Package: debian-installer Version: Taken from unstable svn co svn://svn.debian.org/svn/d-i/trunk debian-installer The installation goes fine till the configuring of xserver-xorg phase and suddenly the display goes off and shows blank screen with boxes that are unreadable but the progress bar still seems to move and the installation finishes successfully and cd comes out.These things happen only in text mode of installation In GUI way of installation the installation goes fine till the same stage and suddenly shows installation failed at the configuration phase as in text mode of installtion. In text mode of installation I am unable to see other consoles or ttys after the blank screen appers and in graphical way ttys(ctrl+alt f1-f5) does not even work. I am unable to paste any error msg since ttys does not show up.
