From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: When installing a Gateway VX900 monitor (19" CRT), there are two identical entries in the selection list if manually selecting the monitor type instead of probing (probing leads to system lockup after reboot -- bug 122219). Selecting either one seems to give the same result. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC2T3 and manually select monitor brand 'Gateway'. 2. Select model type VX900. 3. There are two identical menu entries. Actual Results: On my system, an Athlon XP-M 1400+ with S3 SavagePro KM133, selecting either VX900 entry leads to system lockup after reboot (bug 122219). Expected Results: There should only be one VX900 menu entry, unless the two are really different, in which case there should be some further explanation on why they are different and some info to help selecting the correct one. Additional info: This problem aalso exists in Fedora Core 1 with XFree86. This situation is mentioned as part of bug 122219 but it's probably not directly related.
This is not a bug. It was my mistake. The bug does still exist in Fedora Core 1 though. See bug 122219. Even though there is one menu entry for the VX900 (actually there is also a VX900T) the system still doesn't handle it correctly in later stages. By default the system wants to install at 640x480 resolution with 800x600 as the only other choice. xorg.conf has these two resolutions and 1024x768 as choices. I have to uncomment the HorizSync and VertRefresh lines in xorg.conf and reboot and things work normally after that.
