Description Need Real Name 2003-05-07 22:06:44 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030313

Description of problem:
This is a little hard to describe, but I will try.  During a text mode install,
a one character wide portion of the text display is repeated along the right
edge of the display, extending all the way from top to bottom edges.

This happens on a Dell Lattitide c800 laptop (ATI Rage Mobility M4 AGP video
card, 1600x1200 LCD panel).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. do a text mode install
2. look at the display

Actual Results:  The text display looks kind of ugly.

Expected Results:  The text display be correct.

Additional info:

This appears to be a purely cosmetic bug, since the actual install works fine.

Here's a screen shot, to illustrate the problem I attempted to describe.

Do you see this problem if you run a newt-based app (like mouseconfig) in a
console post-install?

No, I only see this during a text-mode install.  Console apps (redhat-config-*,
etc) look fine after the install is finished.
Comment 5 Michael Fulbright 2003-05-13 18:35:02 UTC 
Could you try booting the installer with 'linux nofb' on the command line?
Comment 6 Need Real Name 2003-05-14 00:20:55 UTC 
Booting with the 'nofb' option fixes the problem -- the display looks fine.
Comment 7 Michael Fulbright 2003-05-20 18:11:34 UTC 
Good!

Some hardware just requires this option. Unfortunately we do not have a complete
list.
