You're almost certainly hitting https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=528593 , as far as problem #1 goes - your 'lspci' output would let me confirm for sure. Second issue - manual selection of resolution is pretty much a broken concept with modern systems, as LCD screens have native resolutions and should always run at these resolutions for optimal appearance. Manual resolution selection makes somewhat more sense with CRTs, but these are going the way of the dinosaur so it doesn't make much sense to design the installer around them. If you have an LCD screen the most correct thing to do if text is too small for your liking is a) make sure the DPI setting is correct (in the advanced part of font configuration in the Appearance preferences applet) and if that's not enough, b) just increase your font size settings. Running an LCD at a resolution lower than its native one is not a sensible thing to do, it substantially reduces the quality of the display. -- 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
