Description of problem: A fresh install of FC6/rawhide is performed on an IBM ThinkPad T23. The lid is closed, and an LG1710B 17" TFT monitor is connected to the computer by means a docking station (VGA output). When the installer switches from text to graphical mode, the monitor remains blank and goes to power save mode after a short period of time ("resolution=800x600" was added as boot argument!). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-11.1.0.2-1 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start installer from "boot.iso" CD. 2. Enter basic information in text mode, including the screen mode ("resolution=800x600"). Actual results: The monitor turns blank. Expected results: The Fedora graphical installer should have appeared on the screen. Additional info: It is still possible to switch to a text console. It is also possible to obtain a working graphical installer by switching off the monitor and opening the lid before switching on the notebook. The "XConfig.test" shows that the first screen mode has a resolution well beyond the capabilities of the monitor which prevents it from synching with the VGA signal. The actual resolution is "1920x1200"!!!

This used to work for previous releases of "Fedora Core" including "FC5" and early "FC6/rawhide".
Works again for rawhide as of 2006-05-05.
