From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90; Q312461) Description of problem: I am attempting to install RH 7.2 on a Gateway 450. RH 7.1 worked, but during install for 7.2 when I select the Nvidia TnT video card, there is no response to the test setting mode other than a blank screen. I contacted Red Hat and we worked with the file XFree86-SVGA, and the problem still did not correct. I am relatively new to Linux, and will be happy to provide more support to alleviate this problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install RH 7.2 2.Graphics Test Mode 3. Actual Results: Instead of seeing the test pattern, there is only a blank screen for several seconds before returning to the previous Graphics Mode screen. Expected Results: I should be seeing the selected example such as 8 bit 256 color sample when I press the Test Settings Button. Additional info:
DOes it work if you do not use the test screen at all? ie: Just select it, and dont' test, when configuration is complete try running XFree86 and see if it works. Does it work?
