Does it work better if you boot with 'linux nofb'? I had nofb in the command line when I tried booting on the last two occasions. I'll go ahead and try nofb as the only option and get back to you. I have tried linux nofb Same results. The monitor's resolution is 640x480, but the screen that shows up is formatted for a larger resolution and thus, it doesn't display correctly on the screen and is unusable. I see this problem with FC5test3 on an SGI 330 with an nVidia NV10GL [Quadro] video card hooked up via a DVI-D connection to a Dell 2005FPW monitor running at 1680x1050 native resolution. If I start the installer without specifying a resolution, it dies complaining that the window manager can't open the display (i.e. something like the message in bug 72088). If I specify resolution=1680x1050 when booting, on the other hand, the graphical installer starts up fine, but as with the original reporter it displays at an unusably low resolution (720x400 70Hz according to my monitor). Note that my video card and my monitor have VGA connectors, and if I connect them via a VGA cable instead of a DVI-D cable the graphical installer starts up in 800x600 resolution, which seems like the minimum necessary to navigate its screens. But if I specify resolution=800x600 when booting with the DVI-D cable I get the same "window manager can't open display" error as when I don't specify a resolution. So the problem seems to be specific to the DVI connection. Please try again with FC6 or FC6 test 2. Lots of work has gone into X configuration and startup for this release. requested by Jams Antill This should be fixed in later releases of Fedora. |
