Bug 24468

There seems to be inconsistencies in which video card is selected between
the GUI and TUI installs of anaconda on machines with an on-board video and
an add-on PCI card.  Some machines, the GUI install method finds the
"right" card and others, the TUI install method (hence Xconfigurator) finds
the "right" card.

eg: with a Dell Optiplex GX110 with built-in i810 video on the motherboard
and a PCI TNT2, anaconda's probe finds the i810 and hence can't start the
GUI installer; the early probe finds the i810.  Later, when you actually
configure X in text-mode, the TNT2 is detected instead and X is set up
properly.  This means that kickstarts will find the proper video card on
this box, but it won't run a GUI install.  lspci for this box (hardware
profile 29) is:

Counterpoint is an older Dell GXa with an onboard ATI Rage Pro and Matrox
G200 PCI.  With this machine, anaconda probes the Matrox and starts
XF86_SVGA.  GUI installer properly detects the right video card
consistently.  TUI installer on the other hand (hence, Xconfigurator +
kickstart) always detect the Rage Pro and try to use it.  lspci for this
box (should be machine profile 30) is:

Looks like the PCI bus is scanned in a different order for the two of them.
 To be honest, I think that the Xconfigurator way is "better" if only
because I've got about 200 of the GX110s which get installed via kickstart
and the GXa only serves as a test box :)  But whichever way, I think that
the two should at least go the same way.  And although I'd love to have my
mind read and the correct one always picked, I do understand the difficulty
in that proposition.
