text install, updates 07192001 X Customization screen -- test button does not actually test X, whether configurations chosen are valid or not. It appears to be trying to (screen goes momentarily black, some unreadable message gets written to the console behind the X Customization dialog box) but that's as far as it goes; X never actually gets started, and the dialog box quickly returns
What video card and what sort of package set did you install?
The onboard video (laptop) is a Trident CyberBlade/i7/DSTN, 8 megs. The package set installed was almost everything (all package groups except news server, I believe)
Please try again with Beta 3 - we've changed the X stuff around.
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Fairfax.
Closing due to inactivity. Please reopen if you still see the problem with beta 3.
Still true with roswell2; haven't tried rc2 yet
Does this chip use XFree3? If so, then there were some problems with testing X with XFree3 due to not all the needed packages getting installed which should be handled as of RC2
Both XFree86 3 and XFree86 4.1 support the chipset. However, RH defaults to X 3 for the card, and X 4.1 as shipped by RH will not work with the chipset (or at least I can't get it to work)
testing works with RC2. In RC2, XFree86 3 works, while XFree86 4 does not.
Closing since it sounds like it no longer fails when testing.
