From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: When Xfree fails to load under runlevel 5 on the first boot (before first-boot) dialog is called asked if you want to try to configure the X setup again. The border and Yes <No> is unreadable. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install with an ATI Radeon VE, Samsung SyncMaster 753df (leave as probed) 2. Choose 1280x1024 16bit (works great up to 1400x1050 with redhat-config-xfree86 BTW- might be that the SyncMaster 753df isn't probed correctly?) 3. Hit next to finish install and reboot (the Test button hangs the display) Actual Results: During the next reboot, dialog comes up with some hard to read text for the buttons, scaring the newbies. Expected Results: Dialog showing normal English, making it easy to reconfigure X. Additional info: This was an all English install.
- the console used was not switched to unicode - dialog was not called with latin-1 charset
That failure screen you are seeing is part of GDM, if I recall correctly. GDM tries to start, and after failing a few times, it pops up a message. Changing component to gdm.
