From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.7 [en] (Win98; I) Compaq Proliant 1600. Cirrus Logic GD544x, IBM monitor. Installed 7.1, clean, upon reboot, it's not able to go into video mode, can't see the login screen, it's black. Have tried to re-install several times, last two times the installer crashed when I hit the test video button. V7.0 worked fine with this same hardware config. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install 7.1 2.reboot 3.no video image Actual Results: don't get a video image. appears the system is up, I can type "blind" and it appears the system is logging in, just no video image (it blinks a little, but that's it) Expected Results: Got a video image. Noticed other bug reports. Appears that the installer isn't setting up the X stuff correctly??

This is a bug XFree86 mainly. Acceleration is broken in the Cirrus Logic driver. We didn't know this in advance unfortunately. The workaround is to manually configure XFree86 after installation instead with: Xconfigurator --preferxf4 --nodri Then edit the config file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and add a new option: Option "noaccel" This should get you up and running. The installer is fixed in rawhide to default this driver to noaccel in the future, and there is another bug open for this against XFree86 already. The above workaround should work for you.
