Installing using "basic graphics mode" adds "nomodeset" (which disables KMS (Kernel Mode Setting)): - to the kernel cmdline in the Live session - to /boot/grub2/grub.cfg (or /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg on UEFI systems) - to /etc/default/grub (in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX entry) that means most of the open source drivers (intel, radeon, nouveau) won't work as they, AFAIK, require KMS. Instead the system will be using the VESA or the FBDEV X11 drivers. So post-installation if you want to use the open source driver for your gfx chip you'll need to modify grub.cfg; or modify /etc/default/grub and then use grub2-mkconfig to regenerate grub.cfg . > If you want the vendor-provided ones, you need to install the > appropriate akmod-whatever or kmod-whatever driver(s) you want. For vendor-provided/proprietary drivers, nomodeset isn't a problem as the proprietary drivers don't use KMS anyway (at the current time at least). -- Ahmad Samir -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
