[Bug 835975] New: GUI install fails on iMac with Radeon, text install does not start X11
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=835975 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=835975#c0 Summary: GUI install fails on iMac with Radeon, text install does not start X11 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Factory Version: 13.1 Milestone 4 Platform: Macintosh OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mario_bz@mgtech.com QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0 On iMac 7,1 I can install OpenSuse 12.2 no problem. 12.3 and 13.1 both say cannot find video or not enough video memory. I installed 13.1 using text mode (which was very difficult and impossible to select packages) and after the install X11 would not start so no GUI. After weeks of investigation I placed an X11.conf file (attached) and the GUI now works. I am sure the first installation problem is the main issue. I have attached the messages, X11 log, and conf file I added. Note that under 12.2I did not have to do anything and no X11.conf file was needed. So something broke the install on the machine starting in 12.3. I have found many people had similar issues with the new X11 and Radeon cards. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install 13.1m happens in 1 min 2. 3. Expected Results: installation GUI should work -- 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.

That one alone helps? Sounds weird. I would need Xorg.0.log without that file installed 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.
