Fedora 10 x86_64 DVD install

Postby nemolomen » Wed Oct 14, 2009 4:03 am

Has anyone else used the Fedora 10 64 bit install DVD?

Setting up a new server but I'm not getting the graphical installer which is shown in the "Install Instructions" in the "Control Panel". I'm just getting the text based anaconda installer and after install when I try to start x, it complains of no screens found.

I suspect it may be the 4MB Permedia PCI graphics controller, but looking for other opinions.

Thanks,

you may want to try the following install command when prompted:
linux resolution=800x600

or "linux text" to get the text install.

but it's definately your graphics card...

Thanks for the advice.

I traded the PCI Permedia card up to a PCI Matrox Mystique 220 with 8MB ram and now X is fine, if not a little blurry. But the new server will be headless so blurry doesn't really matter.
