Description Brian Lane 2010-09-14 13:49:26 UTC 
This is to support basic video in the Live CD, bug 608992. liveinst needs to grab xdriver from /proc/cmdline and add it to the command line passed to anaconda when it runs it.

aiui, there's a 14.17.2 build planned for f14 beta, 14.18 will be for post-beta fixes, so please get this fix into that build...I'll test it soon. thanks!
Comment 2 Brian Lane 2010-09-15 14:44:28 UTC 
Oops, hadn't realized we'd started using minor revs yet.
Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2010-09-15 16:25:25 UTC 
I tested the patch by just booting a live CD and hand-patching liveinst before running it; it works great, the installed system gets an xorg.conf with vesa specified. Looks good to me.
