OK, I tried several installs and tried to minimize what has to be done and it already works when adding nomodeset, without any additional xdriver or vga options. After that, booting the system and starting X works too (without any xorg.conf), but switching consoles only works when I have added some vga setting (I use vga=792) to the grub kernel parameter list. The nomodeset is also in this list (added by anaconda). Also, for the graphical boot screen the vga=... setting is needed too. Will also log this information in the ticket. -- --Jos Vos j...@xos.nl --X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 --Amsterdam, The Netherlands| Fax: +31 20 6948204 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
F12 install stops at screen switch (language select)
Hi, I had the crazy idea to try F12 again on an IBM system (SurePOS 565, specific Point-of-Sale hardware, with 82915G/GV/910GL), on which RHEL4 was the last RHEL/Fedora version I could install without problems (see also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=339361 for some comments about RHEL5 on this system). Well, while graphics didn't work at some point in older releases (I don't remember which Fedora I tried last, maybe F9 or F10), now the install stops even earlier, just after: running /sbin/loader detecting hardware waiting for ... Then the screen blanks (instead of showing the language selection) and I can't do anything more than CTRL-ALT-DEL. Any suggestions? Thanks, -- --Jos Vos j...@xos.nl --X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 --Amsterdam, The Netherlands| Fax: +31 20 6948204 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

Thanks, Try adding the kernel parameters nomodeset and xdriver=vesa or xdriver=intel and vga=ask and select any of the 24 bit values offered.. If install is successful then boot into run level 3 and run Xorg -configure and adapt accordingly something like..

Dne 24.11.2009 19:28, Jos Vos napsal(a): BTW it looks like the nomodeset parameter is missing in the list of boot options at these two places: Common Bugs is the right place. Please, don't document it as an official parameter, because it is just a beastly workaround until Xorg driver will be fixed and more stable.
