Kickstart installation of a Dell PowerEdge 1300 at our site fails during X setup. When running Xconfigurator --kickstart on the manually installed system it exits with exit code 2. A little debugging revealed the problem to be in the following part of the code in Xconfigurator.c: if (card_selected == UNLISTED_CARD) { unlisted_doprobe = strcmp(state->serverbuf,"I128") && strcmp(state->serverbuf,"S3") && strcmp(state->serverbuf,"S3V") && strcmp(state->serverbuf,"Mach64"); } else { When modifying this to if (card_selected == UNLISTED_CARD) { unlisted_doprobe = strcmp(state->serverbuf,"I128") && strcmp(state->serverbuf,"S3") && strcmp(state->serverbuf,"VGA16") && strcmp(state->serverbuf,"S3V") && strcmp(state->serverbuf,"Mach64"); } else { it works find. This is just an educated guess, but IMHO a generic 16 color VGA card should not have special clock modes detected. The output of the "X -probeonly" that is done for clock detection is available under the URL in the URL: field of this bug report
I believe this to be fixed in 6.2 (or even 6.1)
