In text mode instal from CD, testing of the X server does not work. After I press the TEST button a few seconds of pause happens ( screen remains unchanged ) and then I am "back" at the same screen. I can press TEST again and the same pause happens. During the pause the "G"UI is unresponsive. Some message is printed ( to stdout/err , I guess), but is covered by the UI elements. The only part visible is ( without the quotes ) "ay: :9". Hardware : PCI SiS 6326 8MB VRAM card, BIOS version 1.26 PCI class 0300 , ID : 1039:6236 ( rev 0b ) , subsystem : 1039:6236 ( there is also a secondary gfx card in the machine, AGP type, it is unused. BIOS is set to initialize the PCI card. Details : Hercules 3D Prophet 4500 32 MB AGP ( Kyro II ), BIOS v01.107, PCI ID 104a:0010 rev 0f, subsystem 1681:0020 )
Is this for Hampton Beta 1?
yes, Hampton Beta 1
Testing works for me in current trees... was this still a problem in beta2?
Not able to replicate with the latest trees.
I could not test it with later betas as both beta2 and beta3 crash in TUI install before that point ( they crash at the Firewall setup screen, bug #61851 )
It works in beta4
