Description of Problem: Fairfax beta 1 CD-ROM installed on Dell Latitude CPx laptop -- standalone (not docked; no external monitor). Graphical install. X configuration detects LCD as an "Unprobed monitor" (7.1 detects it as an LCD properly). I selected "Generic Laptop Display Driver 1024x768". After I did that it proposed as the default resolution 1400x1050x16. How Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. detach laptop from external monitor/undock 2. do a graphical install Actual Results: (see above) Expected Results: 1. Laptop LCD should be autodetected (as in 7.1). 2. Default resolution should not be higher than capabilities of chosen display Additional Information:
This defect considered MUST-FIX for Fairfax gold-release.
still an issue in beta 2
What is the video chipset/card on this laptop (look in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf)?
Any more info on this issue?

requested information: class: VIDEO bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: Card:ATI Rage Mobility desc: "ATI|Rage Mobility P/M AGP 2x" vendorId: 1002 deviceId: 4c4d subVendorId: 1028 subDeviceId: 00bb pciType: 1 on RC 1, the LCD screen is still coming up as an unprobed monitor
LCD screens are not automatically probe-able.
(i.e., I had a hack that said you had a LCD screen if I detected the PCI ID of the mobile ATI chips. I don't know if someone broke that, though.)
Plase try with RC2 and let us know if that is better.
Any more info here?
