Description Jack Neely 2005-01-04 18:47:43 UTC
Description of problem:
Under the Anaconda environment when rhpl is used to detect and setup
the videocard it always sets the DRIVER key of the dict to 'vesa'.

The code looks for the path

   "/usr/X11R6/%s/modules/drivers/%s_drv.o" %(libdir, card["DRIVER"])

to see if the X server module exists else it sets DRIVER to vesa.  In
the Anaconda environment the X modules are not installed therefore all
cards get the vesa driver.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Install CDs from U3 and U4.  rhpl version 0.110.6-1.  

How reproducible:
Must use kickstart.

This is a diff between rhpl-0.110.6-1 and rhpl-0.110.4-1 which introduces this
bug.

Ugly-ish hack applied which should fix this problem while also keeping
the reason the change was made working as well.
