Description of problem: While booting FC6 prerelease disc 1, anaconda says "X server failed to start. Falling back to text mode." The card is a Rendition V2200 AGP (lspci is attached). After the upgrade (from FC5) completed, rhgb and X work almost normally, the exception being that the screen freezes when I switch VCs with <Ctrl><Alt><F[1-6]>. So, perhaps anaconda should continue to fail to start X on this card until the freezing bug is fixed. X config is attached, which I believe was created by anaconda under FC5. How reproducible: Every time.

This is still broken on rawhide from 3/14/2007. It looks like the 'vga' driver doesn't work with this card at 800x600x24bpp. I'm not sure why the 'rendition' driver isn't being used for this card, other than to save a tiny amount of space in stage2.img.

Nice one. Not only did we not ship an xinf file for the driver, but the one in CVS was empty. So kudzu would never match the driver to the device, and we hit the fallback path. Should be fixed in 4.1.3-3.fc7. Thanks!
