How does text mode drop off functionality? Its IDENTICAL to GUI mode now. We do not support motherboards currently where the i810 cannot be disabled if another card is present. You will have to manually configure X for the card in use. We may reconsider for future releases. BTW, what does kudzu say when you: cd /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages $python import kudzu print kudzu.probe(kudzu.CLASS_VIDEO, kudzu.BUS_UNSPEC, kudzu.PROBE_ALL) I figured it would be several releases, which is why the RFE was put on it..
Here is what kudzu says
>>> print kudzu.probe(kudzu.CLASS_VIDEO, kudzu.BUS_UNSPEC, kudzu.PROBE_ALL)

I'll try to pick this up for the next release. *** Bug 16123 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Deferring to future release. Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
Hi guys, I like the fix you had for 7.2, but figured I should put in another type of solution as a RFE for 8.0. Machine is Dell Optiplex GX100 128 Mb Ram Voodoo 3 3000 w/16Mb Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10000 Adaptec 2940 CDrom writer on SCSI chain Built in i810 video *always on* 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX [Fast Etherlink] The first problem is that the system seems to get confused with the initial frame buffer mode and goes into an ultra lowres 320x200. The previous workaround was to do a text install which of course dropped off functionality. This time the install worked by doing a nofb as the installer tried the VGA16 XFree86.. and I limped along in that (yeah) I figured that since it saw I had two video cards.. would it be possible for it to do something like this on an expert install: Detected 2 video cards Which card do you wish to be primary for install? [] Voodoo [] i810 [] vga16 The framebuffer problem.. I dont know what to do with.. I dont know if it is a Voodoo problem or an i810 voodoo conflict problem.
