Try booting anaconda with the command line: linux resolution=1024x768 I called RH tech support, and it turns out that I needed to get a special driver from Intel that supports this chipset. I downloaded it from: http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/linux/graphics.htm installed it, reran rehat-config-xfree86, and was up and running. As far as anaconda is concerned, is there some way for it to test validity of drivers? Anyway, I'm up and going now.... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 74974 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130 Description of problem: This was a fresh install of RH8 on a MICRO-STAR MS-6526 i386 computer. Initially I tried to use the graphics install, but each time I tried, it looked like anaconda probed, and found an INTEL 845 card, and a Phillips 150 Monitor (which is the correct monitor). When it tried to switch to graphics mode, the monitor came up with the following message: "Cannot display this video mode, change computer display input to 1024x768 @ 60Hz", and I couldn't do anything. After trying a couple of times, I switched over to text mode to finish the install, hoping I could configure the monitor manually later. When the X Configuration process began, it came up with the same values of Intel 845, and Phillips 150 monitor. However, it guessed low on the video RAM (the card had 32 MB, anaconda guessed 16MB), which I corrected to match the monitor card. The specs I had showed the screen refresh rate in Hz (60), not Horizontal and Vertical synch rates, so I left that value alone. I tried "Test", and it came up with the original error "Cannot display...switch to 1024x768 @ 60 Hz". I switched back to normal mode, and tried to proceed, and anaconda came up with a big Exception Occurred window, with the following content: An unhandled exception has occurred. This is most likely a bug. Please copy the full text of this exxception or save the crash dump to a floppy then file a detailed bug report against anaconda at (this URL).
