Description of problem: I have a Fujitsu Primergy rx220 with a VGA compatible ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] graphic chip. After pressing enter or selecting an input button the installation may hang - keyboard is locked and the only chance is to reboot the system by pressing the power button. This occurs always between selecting keyboard layout and before the partitioning is written back. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install fedora 12 on Fujitsu Promergy rx220 2. 3. Actual results: Installation hangs Expected results: Successful installation !! Additional info: With older versions of fedora and redhat there was no problem in case of fedora 11 or redhat enterprise linux 6 the bootparameter nomodeset help. But this time my only chance for a successful installation was VNC. But I still have a problem - after the installation is finished and the first boot is done I am not able to use a graphic desktop, because the mouse is not working ( can't be moved )
Does setting boot option radeon.agpmode=-1 helps with th live/install cd, otherwise does option radeon.modeset=-1 helps ?
Hi Jerome, First I thought at least radeon.modeset=-1 would help, but the situation is still unchanged. It looks to me that moving the cursor (by mouse or tabbing) effects after a short time of the installation that no input from the keyboard is possible. And this is a new problem, first time for me to see on fedora12. Just another question, with fedora12 I was not able to configure the display using setup command - the option is simply not available.
Hi Jerome, With the latest updates from rawhide the problems I had with X on the installed fedora 12 are gone. But the installation problems still exist - they only can be bypassed using VNC

Winfrid please test the lastest iso it should work too : http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/desktop/
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Closing this bug, works for me. Winfrid if you still have issue with the lastest ISO reopen.
