Hide Forgot
On ev56 Alpha (UX) with Permedia 2 graphics card anaconda booted into graphics mode deteriorates with every screen. The first screen is ok, on the next one help text looks like that: Which language would you like <junk, junk> during <junk> installation and <junk ...> system default <junk ...> <junk> Linux <junk> install Choose <junk ....> Toggling "Hide Help"/"Show Help" does not have any problems but does not improve anything in a displayed help text. Anaconda lockups completely on a "Keyboard Configuration" screen showing only "Mode/Layout/Dead Keys" text on a gray background and nothing more. Mouse pointer in this moment is still active but no reaction from any buttons or a keybord. A workaround: run anaconda in a text mode which is mostly ok. Michal michal@harddata.com
does X in the post-install environment also have this trouble (ie generic X problem) or is it fine, and it is just the graphics mode in anaconda ...?
No, regular X works just fine provides this is 4.0.1a. :-) Actually 3.3.6-33 works as well, but "less perfect".:-) See #17896. Version 3.3.6-20 from 6.2 distribution on the same hardware does not show any problems.
