Description of problem: Install CD ignores xdriver setting, only using autodetection of graphics card. This means a graphical install can not be performed on a Dell PE850 as it has an XGI graphics card and the driver is not included. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F13 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from live cd, passing xdriver=vesa as a commandline option Actual results: /tmp/X.log shows it tries to load the xgi driver, fails and exits Expected results: Xorg should try to use the vesa driver instead Additional info: I noted that it created a file under /mnt/sysimage/etc/X11/xorg.conf to specify the driver, however Xorg doesn't appear to be using it. It is using the config directory /etc/xorg.conf.d
What release of anaconda is this? This should be fixed according to bug 577312.
I was using the F13 Beta Install CDs that were released yesterday.
The patch is present in our f13-branch, but we haven't built any new version since it was introduced because of the upcoming beta. It should get into the distribution's f13 version soon now that beta is out. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 577312 ***
