From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020401 Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Get a machine with a video card and monitor that can go up to 1920x1440 (say, a RIVA TNT2 card with a Philips 107P monitor). 2.Create a ks.cfg file with the line: xconfig --card "RIVA TNT2" --videoram 32768 --hsync 30-92 --vsync 50-160 --depth 16 --resolution 1920x1440 --defaultdesktop=GNOME --startxonboot 3.Boot off the CD installation media for a kickstart install Actual Results: installclass.py, line 384, in configureX, raises a RuntimeError: `Selected resolution and bitdepth not possible with video ram detected. Perhaps you have to specify video ram' Expected Results: 32MB is surely enough for 1920x1440x16, and this actually works if I change the resolution to 1600x1200 in the kickstart file, then add `1920x1440' as a video mode to XF86Config-4 after installation. Additional info: There's also the problem that the installer goes back to text mode and prints a back trace, instead of a user-friendly error message, and that the error message itself is misleading, because I have specified the amount of videoram.

Confirmed fixed.
