If you start with 'resolution=1400x1050' does it come up in the graphical installer ok? What happened to my previous updates? I already answered these questions. I'll re-upload them when I'm not traveling. Basically, at 1400x1050, the screen just came up grey. I was referring to the install boot time option like: linux resolution=1400x1050 which makes the graphical installer try to use 1400x1050 instead of 800x600. OK, here are the comments from my previous entries that were lost: ------- Additional Comments From tjb 2003-10-01 06:38 -------It looks like the X server only starts once. The console says Probing mouse, Attempting to start xserver, waiting for X server, 1 2 3 4 5 xserver started successfully. It doesn't look like it tries twice. When supplying the resolution=1400x1050 on the command line, when X comes up it just shows a blank grey screen. Back to today, October 15th: I just tried it last night with test3 and the same problems occur. I saw a post that about nofb so I tried it and everything worked fine that way. So "linux nofb" makes the graphical installer work fine with test3 anaconda. Okay, that's going to have to be the workaround, then. Basically, it's a video BIOS bug in that it can't handle running the native X resolution after going into the vga16fb mode. |
