From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7 Description of problem: My system is a Dell Dimension PIII 667MHz, 512MB RAM, 36GB. The chipset is i810 and it has an onboard 4MB AGP Video card. I also have an SiS 300 32MB PCI video card installed. The scenario is thus; My BIOS supports disabling of the onboard video card. Anaconda does not pick this up and still identifies the onboard card and tries to configure it even if the onboard graphics is disabled. With test3 I was able to install (but not start X) with the onboard graphics card disabled and then I could go and change the video card. However, with FC-R1 with the onboard graphics disabled, the install exits after probing the video card saying "X server could not be started. No displays found. System will reboot now". Best Regards Gireesh Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Disable onboard video. 2. Install FC-R1 3. Actual Results: System stopped after probing the video card saying "Could not start X server. Display not found. System will reboot now" Expected Results: Regular install. Additional info:
Does 'linux text' work? If so, can you run '/usr/sbin/kudzu -p -c VIDEO' post-install and post the output here?
I did not use 'linux text'. I installed with the onboard video enabled. That worked like a charm. After first boot etc. I ran System Settings -> Display, set the video card to the PCI one and then rebooted with onboard video disabled. Since then everything works fine. Output of '/usr/sbin/kudzu -p -c VIDEO' is shown below. class: VIDEO bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: Card:Intel 810 desc: "Intel Corp.|82810E DC-133 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]" vendorId: 8086 deviceId: 7125 subVendorId: 8086 subDeviceId: 4332 pciType: 1 pcibus: 0 pcidev: 1 pcifn: 0 - class: VIDEO bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: unknown desc: "Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]|SiS300/305 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter" vendorId: 1039 deviceId: 0300 subVendorId: 1039 subDeviceId: 0300 pciType: 1 pcibus: 1 pcidev: a pcifn: 0
kudzu doesn't appear to be showing either of the devices as disabled
What's the output of 'lspci -v'?
Created attachment 95919 [details] Output of lspci -v
And if you run 'kudzu -p -c video' now, it gives the same output as above?
Yeah. Same output as above. I had read some place that adding the line pci=bios,biosirq to grub.conf made sure that the additional video card was picked first. I did try that but it did nothing for me.
