Description MATT 2013-12-05 13:07:59 UTC
Description of problem:
I have a Toshiba Satellite P75-A7200 laptop. It has an option in the Bios to use UEFI or CSM. When I use UEFI which I would prefer to since I also have Windows 8 on my computer it has trouble. I seem to have an unrecognized video card. I am never able to make it to this screen.

Since I can't get to that screen I am not able to select the troubleshooting option and then the Install Fedora in basic graphics mode.

Does this problem still occur with Fedora 20? Which live media are you using? Is there anything displayed at all?

Comment 3 MATT 2016-11-09 14:03:30 UTC
I do not have this computer anymore. Is there a way I can stop receiving notifications for this?
