"xorg.conf" file created by "anaconda/pyxf86config"
This used to work for previous releases of "Fedora Core" including "FC5" and early "FC6/rawhide". Works again for rawhide as of 2006-05-05. |
Description of problem: A fresh install of FC6/rawhide is performed on an IBM ThinkPad T23. The lid is closed, and an LG1710B 17" TFT monitor is connected to the computer by means a docking station (VGA output). When the installer switches from text to graphical mode, the monitor remains blank and goes to power save mode after a short period of time ("resolution=800x600" was added as boot argument!). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-11.1.0.2-1 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start installer from "boot.iso" CD. 2. Enter basic information in text mode, including the screen mode ("resolution=800x600"). Actual results: The monitor turns blank. Expected results: The Fedora graphical installer should have appeared on the screen. Additional info: It is still possible to switch to a text console. It is also possible to obtain a working graphical installer by switching off the monitor and opening the lid before switching on the notebook. The "XConfig.test" shows that the first screen mode has a resolution well beyond the capabilities of the monitor which prevents it from synching with the VGA signal. The actual resolution is "1920x1200"!!!
