PXE means in your case that you didn't enable the framebuffer.
What does this mean? How did I not enable the framebuffer? If this is a bad idea, why allow it?
I don't know why, but it seems everbody who is using PXE boot does not specify the vga=0xXXX parameter on the kernel commandline, although nowadays really any monitor is capable of displaying a resolution of 1024x768. So why not simply specifying vga=0x317 by default?!? The result when not doing so is the use of vesa driver (instead of fbdev), which is not recommended to use at all and obviously has all kind of different problems (it seems especially when intel driver is started as second Xserver for testing purposes during installation).
Your monitor was not detected and got the default values for a Generic monitor.
Hmm, so how do we get the system to detect this monitor? Maybe this bug needs to move to the hwinfo package?
You can try, but some monitors simply cannot be detected due to broken DDC or providing wrong data. In this case you need to specify the correct values. AFAIK this is possible during the installation as well. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
