From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: When the installer loads the Select Packages screen, the display becomes corrupted. It looks like the screen is not updated in the right places. Pressing Back or Next does not fix the problem. Must manually power off to abort the install. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use graphical install on a Dell Inspiron 2500 2. Select packages screen is corrupted. Actual Results: Corrupted display halfway through install. Expected Results: No display corruption. Additional info:
How does the display get "corrupted"?
The screen right before Select Packages remains on the screen. After the Select Packages screen is "loaded", it looks no different (i.e., previous screen still there). If you then move the mouse, it updates some things like the check boxes and the "Details" buttons. If you move the scroll bar, then the window scrolls, but not in the place it is supposed to (about half a screen up or down from where it should scroll). It's like the information is being sent to the wrong location on the display. Eventually, the screen looks like somebody randomly cut up the screen and shuffled it around.
