https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=229853 Summary: cannot install with clgd5446 pci graphics card Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: PC OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: teheo@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Okay, call me crazy but I still use Cirrus Logic GD 5446 PCI graphics card (1013:00b8). I can understand if suse 10.2 doesn't support this venerable thingie and x and graphical installation don't work, but complete installation failure is a bit extreme. What happens is... * During the first installation phase, YaST2 complains that the graphics card isn't powerful enough and reverts to text mode, which is all fine and dandy. * After reboot, when the 'continue' phase of YaST installation starts, YaST2 is against started but this time it doesn't revert to text mode. It renders the screen but fails to draw any text or response to input. Switching to other vt works. Switching to vt2 and killing it makes things continue but it ends up at login prompt where root login is prohibited (no password set yet) and no other user added. I don't think clgd5446 support is anywhere near critical, so rejecting this bug is fine too but please consider at least making phase#2 use detection result from phase#1 (ie. if phase#1 was done in console, do the same for phase#2). FYI, clgd5446 can happily do 1024x768x256 X windows. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
