Description shrek-m 2005-03-20 14:55:21 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050308 Firefox/1.0.1 Fedora/1.0.1-5

Description of problem:
rhgb and firstboot are not really readable after a clean fresh fc4t1 installation on a  powerbook g4 12"  with a nVidia Corporation NV34M [GeForce FX Go5200]
the resolution seems to be 640x320x8 instead 1024x768x24

`system-config-display` can create a correct xorg.conf
the only thing i had to do is to select a generic lcd 1024x768

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-10.2.0.27-1.ppc

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. clean fresh fc4t1 install
2. reboot

  

Actual Results:  you can not read the output from rhgb and you have to click blindely through firstboot.
later you can configure your nvidia via system-config-display

Expected Results:  anaconda should configure the display correct
or
rhgb/firstboot should use a readable theme in this case.
