This should be better in trees with .73 Right, works for me in "anaconda-11.1.0.74-1". I see Anaconda (FC6test2) not trying to use VESA driver like in the past.
Anaconda prints out that X server started ok, but the server does not started
("no screens
found" at the very end of the log file).

Description of problem: After booting from rawhide "boot.iso" as of 2007-07-28 and entering the requested information for an "http" install, "stage2.img" gets downloaded successfully. Hereafter, the installer correctly reports the display type ("LG L1710B" analog) which is connected to the "VGA" output of an "IBM ThinkPad T23". There is a short flicker on the screen as if the "X" server was about to start, buth immediately the screen goes black. The monitor light remains green though which means that at least there is a signal. It is not possible to switch to a virtual console to see what's going on but "ctrl-atl-bckspc" is still able to trigger the reboot of the system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-11.1.0.72-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from corresponding "boot.iso" (2007-07-28). 2. Enter install details and proceed to downloading "stage2.img". Actual results: Screen goes black. Expected results: Graphical installer is launched successfully. Additional info: Adding additional boot parameters such as "noprobe", "skipddc" combined with various resolutions from "640x480" etc. has no effect. Due to an installer regression, current "anaconda-11.1.0.73-1" does not get to the point where the "X" server is started. Hence, I cannot make any statement about that version.
