It's not always that simple. For the Intel problem I earlier mailed about (see <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=622052>, now upstream known as <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29449>) I didn't manage to get a VESA-driver install working so far. On an installed system I can make X working using the kernel parameters "i915.modeset=0 video=vesa" (nomodeset does NOT work, as then VESA won't work either), but I didn't figure out how to let anaconda use the VESA driver. I tried "nomodeset", and "xdriver=vesa", a combination, and the above listed parameters that do work on an installed system, but neither of these work. I have to say I've tested this on RHEL6b2 and only partly on F13, so you may blame me if details have changed here since then. -- -- Jos Vos <j...@xos.nl> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
