Your monitor probably isn't auto-probing and so we fall back to "safe" characteristics. If you look on tty3 (or /tmp/anaconda.log), you'll probably see something saying that the monitor couldn't be probed and so it's falling back. Sorry, but we use the Monitor HP L1820. If I use redhat-config-xfree86 or simply an install without kickstart - it works fine an the anaconda detect the right one. Only with the kickstart ks.cfg file we have problems Why does ist work during the normal anaconda installation (GUI-Mode) but not with the ks.cfg file? As workaround I use in the %post section of the ks.cfg: /usr/bin/redhat-config-xfree86 --set-resolution1280x1024 --set-depth=24 -- reconfig Note: The --reconfig option is necessary, because without this option - no changes will made on /etc/X11/XF86Config. An other way is, I delete the file /etc/X11/XF86Config an run /usr/bin/redhat- config-xfree86 --set-resolution1280x1024 --set-depth=24 (The same effect occours with the GUI-Interface, I can not find the reason for it - the acces rights vor the configfile are rw-r--r--) This code has been rewritten a bit. Even still, if your monitor does not get probed, then you have to provide some specs for it. |
