Description Dimitri Papadopoulos Orfanos 2001-12-06 14:43:42 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; SunOS 5.8 sun4u)

Description of problem:
We need to install NVIDIA drivers in post-install. We must remove modules
"GLcore" and "dri" and change the driver to "nvidia".

To do that, I don't know of another way than directly modifying
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4.

Unfortunately this file does not yet exist when running post-install.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a kickstart post-install script that needs /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
2. Run a kickstart installation using this script


Actual Results:  The post-install script does not see
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4.
Actually it does not exist yet - xconfig is run later.


Expected Results:  The post-install should be able to modify the X11
configuration.

As a workaround, you should be able to do skipx in the ks.cfg and then do what
you want as far as X config in the %post
