see bug #32937 for the history. Finally got to "install unlisted monitor" dialog. Selected "Standard VGA 640x480 @ 60 Hz" Next screen asks me about frequencies (50-70 hz, 50-90 hz, etc)! Why? User who selects standard VGA usually has no idea what frequencies are. Selecting "Back" from there brings to vertial and horizontal frequencies entry dialog. "Back" here finally returns back to "install unlisted monitor" dialog. All this is bad by itself but to make matters worse further probe of VGA16 server fails!
I kept pressing OK after selecting "Standard VGA 640x480 @ 60 Hz" and VGA16 test was performed successfully. The errors were when I selected 256k RAM I believe. Why there is a RAM question for VGA16 server?
Brent please check out.
I'm not really sure what the problem is. Is there an actual bug here or is there something that you would like to see changed? The part of the installer you are referring to is really Xconfigurator, which the text mode installer calls to set up X. Once you have the system installed, run Xconfigurator and see if the behavior is similar. If so, then the component should be changed from anaconda to Xconfigurator.
I believe you are correct. I know exaclty what are you talking about. The dialogs in question belong to Xconfigurator.
Ok. Changing component to Xconfigurator.
Such old hardware is considered unsupported now.
I'll see how unsupported video hardware behaves in post 7.2. It took a lot of efforts to make it work in 7.2. Hopefully support will stay solid.
