I have an MSI board with a built via chrome9 video card. when booting the F9 install you can pass the kernel option "xdriver=vesa" to anaconda and it will change the way autodetection works and will give you a graphical install in VESA mode. This is NOT the end of your problem. either a text mode install works, or a graphical VESA mode install works, but when you get the system installed and reboot then your going to have the very same problem cause its the very same autodetect mecanism that appears to be broken, Ive yet to find the right kernel paramaters to allow my system to boot graphical and not break something. sorry I cant be of more help, but I just thought you should know you arent the only one. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
