Description of problem: How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1.do an installation Environment: Dell Dimension C521 Nvidia GeForce 6150LE Dell 2007 LCD display After installation, during boot, when the X server is activated by rhgb, no display is generated. Instead the monitor displays an error message: "Out of range signal. Cannot display this video mode. Change computer display input to 1600x1200@60Hz" Expected results: The boot display should have been displayed.

From my quick 30 second check on a machine with FC6 still installed, it looks like 10DE:0241 was listed in /usr/share/hwdata/videoaliases/nv.xinf, but was commented out. The same file has it uncommented on rawhide. This would mean that FC6 anaconda/rhpxl/kudzu doesn't know what driver to assign for that device, hence it picks vesa and that's what you get in the xorg.conf. I'm sending this one over to the X driver guys for further comment.
I tried changing the video driver in /etc/X11/xorg.conf from vesa to nv. That did produce a display, but it would only run at 800x600.
Do you have an X log from starting with nv? Would be interesting to know why it's limited to 800x600.
Created attachment 146872 [details] log when running with nv driver at 800x600 The monitor is a Dell 2007FP, which is capable of 1600x1200.
So, vesa should be working with this setup now. The 800x600 limitation appears to be due to non-functional DDC. You will want to set the HorizSync and VertRefresh values for your display in xorg.conf.
Please update to xorg-x11-drv-vesa 1.3.0-4 or later, and reopen if this is still an issue for you.
