Mike Harris has asked for testing of the Vesa video driver, which could be used for a "safe mode" in Fedora. The problem is that many BIOS's Vesa modes are broken, so he needs a good blacklist of broken situations with the Vesa driver You can find example instructions on how to go through a Vesa driver test for your video hardware here: http://www.fedora.us/wiki/VesaDriverTesting Please read through the testing example completely before starting your test, paying extra attention to the instructions for searching for and filing bug reports for this test procedure. And please be aware that vesa driver testing is focusing on low level X operation and not on application level issues. The testing is specifically to test: 1) video driver/X server stability 2) Screen corruption/splitting/misalignment/similar 3) mouse pointer corruption/misalignment If there is no X server crash, no screen corruption/misalignment, no mouse problems, then the vesa driver is working and you don't need to file a bug report as part of this test procedure. -jef
