Description of problem: When installing the X86_64 DVD of Fedora 9 Preview in graphical mode on my Dell Dimension 9200 (Intel Core2 Quad 2.4GHz) with LCD monitor (1704FPT) connected via a DVI cable, then I get a message (from my monitor) on the screen: "2: Digital Input Cannot display this video mode" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): The version released in Fedora 9 Preview How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert DVD and boot from it 2. choose install or upgrade existing system Actual results: It detects an nVidia GeForce 8600 GTS and then shows the message mentioned above. Expected results: It shows each screen of the installation so that I can continue with the installation. Additional info: Both the SHA1SUM check and the media test were successful.
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
Sorry, silly me, bad boilerplate. What I mean is that you could install in the text mode, and then to run X already installed. You can also try when the installation in the graphic mode crashes switch to the console (Ctrl-Alt-F2) and copy somewhere over net, or to the USB driver a content of the /tmp directory. A file /tmp/X* is what we are after.
When I selected the graphic install mode, my monitor shows a message that it can not operate in the selected display resolution/rate. When I try to go to a terminal via <CTRL><ALT><F1> or <F2> the monitor message remains on the screen and I do not get a terminal screen. As a consequence I can not type anything... In the mean time I have succeeded in a textual installation (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444278) and after the reboot I get a Gnome desktop in the right resolution and refresh rate. So it seems that only during installation a refresh rate and/or resolution is selected that can not be handled by my monitor.
OK, then I would repeat comment 1 -- we would still like to know what Xorg thinks about your computer graphics.
Created attachment 304294 [details] X11 configuration of the working second installation This file is generated by the text install I performed and gives a working Gnome desktop.
Created attachment 304296 [details] Xorg log file This is the latest Xorg log file of the second text install. This is probably from the last boot when I played around with the new Gnome desktop.
Created attachment 304297 [details] Older Xorg log file This is the older Xorg log file of the second text install. Might be the one generated during the textual install.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
