I believe this is actually a bug. nomodeset is supposed to be all you need, but it's not working at present for some reason. I think nomodeset is basically a no-op at present and just 'radeon.modeset=0' alone would do the job. I can't remember exactly what it is that's causing nomodeset to fail. If the bug's not going to be fixed soon, we should probably include this information there too, yep. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
