(To be clear: when I said "foolishly" in my other mail, I meant it in the sense that we're fools for making that trap so easy to fall into. Apologies if offense was taken; none was intended.) Well, we don't normally set video parameters in the grub config at all. The theory is that you'll only hit 'nomodeset' if you had to use it to install, and in that case if we then defaulted to booting a KMS configuration you'd probably be booting a configuration that you _know_ won't work, since it's the same kernel as you just used to run the installer (if you're not enabling updates at install time). So really, to me, this suggests that we should hide the 'nomodeset' install option a little better. I suspect that showing it early in the install process suggests to people that it's somehow more likely to succeed and therefore desirable. - ajax -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
