So if I understand it correctly, appending "nomodeset" on BIOS system should lead to usage of VESA driver and appending "nomodeset" on UEFI system should lead to usage of GOP via efifb driver, so this https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=984455 is incorrect behaviour.

Is there a better way than to scan Xorg.0.log? The X log is the place to discover what X driver is in use. - ajax -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
