Description of Problem: TGA2 graphics-based machines cannot do GUI install as the card is not correctly recognized. In addition, the install does not fail-over to text mode, forcing the user to enter text mode manually. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): alpha-72-beta1 How Reproducible: Attempt to install via GUI on a TGA2-based machine. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: VGA16 server is started, but the screen is unusable. One can exit the X server via Ctrl-Alt-Del, but the install then terminates abnormally. Expected Results: Normal installation via GUI. Additional Information: Text mode install works fine. X servers work fine under normal operation after correct setup after the install.
This system is outside the scope of the contract and will be marked CLOSED - WONTFIX.
Fixed in final No release not needed. Duplicate bug of 58866 Phil =--= *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 58866 ***
Testing with the 0503.0 bits, this bug appears not to be fixed. This bug is NOT really a duplicate of 58866; that one (TGA) fails because the XF86Config-4 file is incomplete (needs a BusID). Installation on TGA does go on successfully, as it fails-over correctly to text mode (I believe because TGA does not identify itself as VGA-compatible in the PCI config info). TGA-2 GUI install fails because it *does* identify itself as VGA-compatible, leading anaconda to try the VGA-16 server, which works enough to trash the screen and make it impossible to do anything but terminate the server, which then (abnormally) terminates the install. TGA gives a PCI CLASS of 0380, vendor/device IDs of 1011:0004. TGA-2 gives PCI CLASS of 0300, vendor/device IDs of 1011:000d.
