Last modified: 2008-08-02 19:40:34 EDT
Description of problem: computer is windows xp pro running Microsoft Virtual PC 2007. i've installed fc7 release 4 (newest as of 2009.04.26). loaded machine and tried to get into the command line, but can only get into it at 24bit. the virtual pc, can only run in a 16bit video mode, and i can't get into it. in the past, i've been able to do this with fc5 and fc6. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: everytime i try to load the o/s using level 3 from the grub loader command line.. Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot system with virtual pc 2007 2. edit grub line and add '3' to the command line 3. boot system Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Changing the DefaultDepth line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf should be sufficient. Please attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log from the virtualpc system so we can identify what hardware it's emulating, and avoid this in the future.
