Description Christopher Blizzard 2006-08-09 16:23:34 EDT

When we're booting inside of the simulator we need to load the vesafb driver in
xorg.conf.  If we're booting on the board we need to set up an xorg.conf that
loads the amd driver for the geode.

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2006-08-09 20:03:15 EDT

xorg with no conf file will figure out that it needs amd, and use that. Don't
know if it falls back to fbdev or not.

Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are, as we're sure you've noticed, no longer
test releases. We're cleaning up the bug database and making sure important bug
reports filed against these test releases don't get lost. It would be helpful if
you could test this issue with a released version of Fedora or with the latest
development / test release. Thanks for your help and for your patience.

[This is a bulk message for all open FC5/FC6 test release bugs. I'm adding
myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this
and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]
