Is the monitor attached to the DVI out? Yes it is *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 88360 *** I don't think it is legitimate to mark this bug as resolved. The bug marked as a duplicate is referencing the same issue, but the fix for bug 88360 is to add options to the XF86Config file. However, during installation, that is not possible. I.e., for bug 88360 there is a valid workaround. However for this issue during installation, there is no workaround. Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7 Description of problem: After the installer probes my video card and monitor and attempts to switch to graphical mode, the screen turns OFF. The video card is a Geforce 4 MX Monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster 171P The installer detects these correctly, but just fails to start the graphical interface. I had to install FEDORA using text interface only and then installed the nvidia drivers manually after downloading them from nvidia.com. By the way, this is a known bug from Redhat 9 as well and I'm suprised to see that it made it to FEDORA as well. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the CD 2. Probing for video card and monitor 3. Screen goes off Additional info:
