Description of Problem: I have a machine with an on-board video card, and a pci video card. Anaconda autodetects the on-board, but the bios hints for the pci card to be used, and Xconfigurator detects the pci card. The fun part is that anaconda ignores the card settings for 'xconfig' in my kickstart file, and uses the on-board card. And the kickstart line I am using comes directly from anaconda-ks.cfg, after manually telling anaconda the correct settings. The line in question: xconfig --card "NVIDIA Riva TNT2 (generic)" --videoram 16384 --hsync 30.0-85.0 --vsync 48.0-120.0 --resolution 1024x768 --depth 16
Anaconda and especially kickstart doesn't always cope well on machines with multiple video adaptors and we don't have any machines in the building which exhibit the problem, but there are some GX110s at NCSU with onboard i810 video and an add-on nvidia card that I'll try to get over to look at
Um, yep. They are in fact i810 onboard adapters. The systems are from Dell. Sorry for leaving that bit out. But, if it's given an _explicit_ switch, why should it even try probing?
Because it still does some degree of probing to find out how much crack you're on and to make sure it can start X, but it's supposed to ignore its probe results. There's some weirdness with doing multiple probes in there though that's probably fubar'ing things.
Deferring to a future release.
