How Reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt a Fairfax beta1 graphical installation on a Satellite Pro 480CDT
2. 
3. 

Actual Results:

Traceback and anaconda failure


Expected Results:

boot into the graphical installation, or ditch to the text install


Additional Information:

It worked in 7.1, so it has to be something recent that was changed.  The
screen never blinks into the X server -- all I see is text, so the X server
startup just doesn't happen.  Alt-F7 is inaccessible.  Alt-F3 shows this error:

* ERROR - trying to run fbconProbe w/o knowing fb device!!

During a 7.1 install this error is not present.  I am booting off of the
boot.img boot disk because this machine's CD-ROM is not bootable (despite
the setting in the BIOS).

lspci -vn shows this on the video card:

00:04.0 Class 0300: 102c:00e5 (rev c6)
     Subsystem: 1179:0001

and -vb identifies the card as a Chips and Technologies F65555 HiQVPro,
with the subsystem ID'd as a Toshiba America Info Systems Unknown.  The
machine is available for testing as needed.
