Upthread I was not specifying any interface, and it wasn't working. Will's pretty sure now there's a bug in the code that converts the anaconda syntax into the dracut syntax, so we think any attempt to use anaconda syntax will fail as things stand. > I edited my Grub stanza in menu.lst to match above, but on first try instead > of using it as-is I deleted p11p1, and it worked. xdriver=radeon, however, > does not on rv200.

I dunno whether that mode setting code has been at all updated for newer X or KMS or whatever. No idea whether it's expected to work or broken or what. I doubt you could force anaconda to use bigger fonts, unless you somehow hack a DPI setting into the X config... -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
