Description of Problem: Fairfax (beta 1) Tried to install using CD-ROMs on a Dell Latitude CPx notebook PC docked in a docking station with an external monitor. Choosing the graphical install option (ENTER at boot:) results in the following error: Running anaconda - please wait... Probing for video card: ATI Rage Mobility Probing for monitor type: Dell M791 Probing for mouse type: Generic - 3 Button Mouse (USB) Waiting for X server to start...log located in /tmp/X.log ... X server started successfully. Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 421, in ? from splashscreenimport SplashScreenShow File "/usr/lib/anaconda/splashscreen.py", line 20, in ? from gtk import * File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/gtk.py", line 29, in ? _gtk/gtk_init() RuntimError: cannot open display install exied abnormally sending termination signals...done . . . How Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. dock Latitude CPx 2. attach external monitor 3. begin graphical install Actual Results: (see above) Expected Results: normal install Additional Information: FWIW, there are no problems when the machine is undocked and no external monitor is attached. I'm guessing this is perhaps related to the LCD/ext.monitor issue with the ATI driver on 7.1. It would be nice if some intelligence could be built-in to know whether the LCD or external monitor is active and act appropriately. Or will 4.1.0 fix this issue?
