I agree and there is a real problem. It might be bad hardware or bios misindicating what modes should be available (which might be fixable as a quirk in the driver) or it might be a driver bug. > so ... is there any way around this that someone wants me to test? > i have the spare system to do it on, and it seems like this is > something that really needs to be addressed, being an installation > issue. My recommendation would be to file a bug against xorg-x11-drv-ati. Include Xorg.0.log and inforation about your video card (say from lshw or lspci). Don't expect a rapid fix (but you never know). If a fix is provided later you can restest that. As for a firstboot work aorund there may be something there as well. I thought that a simple way to use vesa when doing installs got added relatively recently. If you tried installing using that method, it would be interesting to see if for the first boot if vesa was used so you would have a chance to fix things in a graphical environment. If not that could be an RFE bug against ananconda (I think). -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
