Description of problem: I possess 2 plates of video, one onboard sis 630 and another one pci Nvidia. In boot BIOS of my system the active device is the plate pci, but during the installation the plate is recognized onboard.In redhat 9,0 this did not happen! The established installation of redhat 9,0 is much more interesting of what the current one Suggestion mine, redhat 9,0 comes back with the installation style, this redhat was classic and its finishing was very good;) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Redhat Enterprise 5.0 beta 1 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
only a complementation, the problem of detention of the video plate also happens in the fedora, if they will be able inform the collaborating friends I am thankful Only remembering, this did not happen in redhat 9.0 ;)
Can you provide the output of kudzu -p -c VIDEO?
kudzu detects the 2 plates when this initiating , I remove the configuration of the plate onboard and configures the plate pci, with this decided ;) The problem is: - Because as much in the fedora, as in redhat, the installation detects the plate onboard as being the used one, if I am using the plate pci ? detail: in setup of the BIOS, I activated the plate pci, activating the plate pci that it is the one that I use !! The stranger, is that in redhat 9,0 install of redhat intelligently detected the option that use at the moment They come back to use the detention of video of install of redhat 9,0, it is intelligent in the detention but a suggestion, thanks ;)
We still need the output of "kudzu -p -c VIDEO"

Bill/Adam -- have any ideas on ways to distinguish which is correct?
Whichever one has VGA routed to it. Hopefully they're on different busses, in which case you look at the VGA BridgeCtl bit of each bridge, and whichever one has that set is the PCI bus with VGA active (otherwise on bus 0).
How would anaconda like such information delineated?
If kudzu provides us with some sort of value like vgaIsRouted or similar for each card, then VideoCardInfo.__init__ can use the first video card with that value set instead of just using the first one it knows about. Adam - does that sound reasonable? This looks like a purely rhpxl problem instead of anaconda, but I'll leave it assigned to anaconda for now.
Still need an answer to my question in comment #9 and for kudzu to support providing this information.
