I know Trevor and he mentioned this bug to me. Coincidentally, I have a server with the exact same video interface that I can use for testing. After updates, same issue happened here. No video. The fix: 1) Obviously, we need to boot first. So edit the GRUB boot entry and pass the parameter "vga=793" right after "quiet". 2) Then, edit /etc/default/grub and, on GRUB_CMDLINE after quiet, add (...) quiet -- vga=793" Then, reinstall GRUB. The issue: card sees a monitor that supports a higher resolution than it can display, tries to use it, fails miserably, as we're talking about an old video interface. That parameter will force the 1280x1024 resolution, which is working fine on my 1080p display, and should work on most as far as I know. * To see all modes, pass "vga=ask" after quiet. Press ENTER to see available modes. * To use another one, convert the Mode for the desired Resolution to decimal. To do so, I used: printf "%d\n" 0x319 (for 1280x1024) Equals 793. vga=793. This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '32'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 32 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 32 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2021-05-25. Fedora 32 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
