I recently attempted to install FC1 on my Dell Inspiron 5150, and I'd like to give a report of the problems I experienced. The basic problem with the install is that the basic X server anaconda attempts to start didn't work with my configuration, forcing a text-mode install. My laptop has an NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200, which anaconda detects as "NVIDIA GeForce FX (generic)", using the nv driver. This produces a graphical screen, but on that is hopelessly garbled beyond recognition. I believe the problem here is that this chip isn't supported correctly by XFree86's nv driver, but anaconda attempts to use it anyway. -- Joel Konkle-Parker Webmaster [Ballsome.com] Phone [662-518-1636] E-mail [jjk3@xxxxxxxxxxx]
