Description Jason Shelton 2000-03-20 21:41:29 UTC

I have found that not using the --card modifier results in the following
eror:

File "/usr/lib/anaconda/xf86config.py", line 164, in setVidcard
self.devID=self.vidCards[self.primary]["NAME"]
TypeError: unsubscriptable object

By looking at the code a bit, I found it was looking for the --card
modifier. I then added --card "generic" to my kickstart config file and was
rewarded with this error:

File "/usr/lib/anaconda/xf86config.py", line 164, in setVidcard
self.devID=self.vidCards[self.primary]["NAME"]
TypeError: sequence index must be an integer

removing the xconfig line from the ks.cfg file is the only way to make it
work

This should be fixed in the shipped release.  Please reopen if you are still
having problems once you load the final code.
