Is there anything I can try on cmdline other than textmode=1 to prevent lockup on i845G when installation tries to switch to GUI? How do I tell installer on cmdline to use something other than intel driver?
Installer uses fbdev as before.
I routinely forget that, and also forget where to look it up.
Thanks to javier on IRC for reminding me about i915.modeset=0, which works. :-)
I added a Modeset section to http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc with the best information I knew. Maybe there's more it should say, and others can update it.
I believe it's easier to use 'nomodeset' than <driver>.modeset=0.
Now that I've written it on the Linuxrc wiki page maybe I can remember. :-) -- "Suppos [sic] a nation in some distant region, should take the Bible for their only law book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited. . . .
