It sounds to me like there may be some confusion here. "boot: linux text" runs the installer "anaconda" in bog-standard VGA text mode (640x480), the same mode used by most BIOS. If the BIOS can drive the display then the text-mode installer can, too. In this mode anaconda can install X11 and other graphics stuff. [You might want to try "boot: linux text vga=788" (or even vga=791) to get more than a 25-line by 80-column display at install time. This is handy for alternate screens accessed by <Alt>F2, etc.] The graphical installer uses 800x600 SVGA mode, and the software used during the install itself may well be different from the pieces of the final installed system. For instance, the xorg.conf used during install will be replaced by something else after configuring the display during firstboot. -- -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
