Hi all,
A friend of mine is having some problems installing FC3. He has a Matrox G100 video board. During the instalation, his hardware is correctly detected, but when the graphic instalation mode is initialized, it crashes.
The tmp/X.log file says:
``... OS Kernel: Linux version 2.6.9-1.667 (bhcompile@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 3.4.2 20041017 (Red Hat 3.4.2-6.fc3)) #1 Tue Nov 2 14:41:31 EST 2004 Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting, (++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational, (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. (++) Log file: "/tmp/ramfs/X.log", Time: Mon Apr 4 23:14:57 2005 (++) Using config file: "/tmp/XConfig.test" (EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) Failed to load module "record" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) Failed to load module "dri" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) MGA(0): [drm] Direct rendering only supported with G200/G400/G550 AGP error opening security policy file /etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!''
We've checked <http://wiki.x.org/wiki/VideoDrivers> to confirm the support for this board, and there it is. Researching through Google we found some people telling it works on this or that distribution, but we couldn't get it to work on FC3.
Has anybody here experienced this? Does anybody know the solution? :) Any help is appreciated.
Thanks for the attention,
Have you tried to install this in text mode? I am getting that this failure is happening when you are trying to install the system via the GUI installer.
linux text at the first installer prompt screen.
