Does booting with 'linux nofb' help? When trying to install with 'linux nofb' you get the same result. A white screen instead of the welcome screen. Thanks, Ton the 'nofb' also results in the console modes when switching with ctrl-alt-f1 etc. to be unreabable. Regards, Ton If you do a text mode install, does X work after installation? No after installation the startup of X gives the same result. I get exactly the same results when installing on a Compaq Deskpro 7100 if I attempt to install in graphic mode. I do not ever actually getting even briefly a cursor. The text mode install allows me to get further but eventually crashes (will check for other bugs related to that). Sorry, should have mentioned that my video card is detected as the same (Trident CyberBlade) and the monitor shows as unknown also. I have the same problem. Model: Toshiba Portege 3500 Video Card (detected) : Trident CyberBlade (generic) Monitor (detected) : TOS5082 Problem: Display goes blank with graphical installation. Installation with text mode: OK, but display still goes blank when try to start X It's works now.... https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=161242 replace /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a (XORG package) with file from FC3... you can get is from ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/libvgahw.a Thank to Harris *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 161242 *** hi i had the same problem with a portege 2000 and the libvgahw solution works fine. Hi, all of you Trident CyberBlade integrated AGP solution for FC4 might work for others. After installation of FC4 in text mode. If you can login in text mode then open xorg.conf as a root. Find section 'Device' Change Driver "vesa" Vender "Unknown" ########## OR Insert first installation FC4 DVD/CD type linux rescue enter you will in shell prompt follow above procedure. reboot and enjoy. If you steel face problem mail me. mlmukesh Or you have other solution for above agp cards please send me. mukesh |
