As mentioned on xgl-devel, please place the appropriate aliases from the attached in the various driver packages, as /usr/share/hwdata/videoaliases/<driver>
Created attachment 121135 [details] master alias list
Any progress here?
The master videoaliases file has been split up into per-driver files now, named <driver>.xinf Some drivers do not have any .xinf files, as the master didn't have entries for them, and presumeably our pcitable/Cards databases didn't have entries for them before either. Some of those drivers are mainly ISA drivers however, so .xinf entries don't make sense anyway. If there are any accidental omissions or updates needed, we'll do that as bugs get reported, however we can close this as RAWHIDE now. It probably wont hit public servers until Saturday's rawhide push though, as I slightly missed the 2:00am rawhide compose. Now that this is present in rawhide, if any new autodetection bugs come in, please request the person to update to the latest Fedora development drivers, and have them run "system-config-display --reconfig" to confirm if their problem still exists. For installer time problems, people will need to do text install and update, then manually run s-c-d. Thanks guys.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO USERS: For those who install Fedora Core 5 test1 or test2 releases, you will find that if you've done a brand new OS install, that the installer will have configured your video card to use the "vesa" driver, regardless of what video card you have. That was a temporary problem, which has recently just been resolved (as mentioned in comment #3 above) now in the latest Fedora Core development packages. For those who have FC5 test1 or 2 installed already, update with "yum update" to get the latest packages, then run "system-config-display --reconfig" manually. You should now get the proper video driver assigned. For those who are unable to install because of this issue, please do a text mode installation, and then follow the instructions above for updating. This problem should be resolved when FC5test3 is released. [ I've given this bug a bug alias of "videoaliases" to make it easier to close duplicates. ]
