Description Ron Loftin 2007-05-11 16:11:46 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.10) Gecko/20070223 CentOS/1.5.0.10-0.1.el4.centos Firefox/1.5.0.10

Description of problem:
When installing via Kickstart on a monitor that does not respond to automatic detection and configuration, I have tried to use the "monitor" keyword in the kickstart file.  This results in the creation of /etc/X11/xorg.conf with no "monitor" section.  This hardware installs correctly under CentOS 4 with the monitor information specified as arguments to the "xconfig" keyword in the kickstart file.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Specify monitor config in kickstart file as shown:

monitor --noprobe --monitor="Digital 21 in. Color (FR-PCXAV-HA)"

2.  Perform kickstart installation.


Actual Results:
# Xorg configuration created by pyxf86config
