Does this still not work? I have encountered this same problem, using FC3rc1. My kickstart file contains the following line: xconfig --card "NVIDIA GeForce FX (generic)" --videoram 65536 --hsync 31.5-37.9 --vsync 50-70 --resolution 1280x960 --depth 24 --startxonboot --defaultdesktop gnome but when I run the installer, I end up with a configuration that matches what's put into /root/anaconda-ks.cfg xconfig --card "NVIDIA GeForce FX (generic)" --videoram 65536 --hsync 31.5-37.9 --vsync 50-70 --resolution 800x600 --depth 24 --startxonboot --defaultdesktop gnome Created attachment 105740 [details]
kickstart file with video specification
Created attachment 105741 [details]
the xorg.conf file generated by the kickstart file
Note the modes line which doesn't match the resolution specified in the
kickstart file. There was no firstboot run to offer a chance to fix this.
Is this better in FC4 test3? Remove from FC3 tracker - were you able to test with FC4test3? Closing due to inactivity. Please reopen if you have further information to add to this report. |
