I installed the FC5 release on Tuesday but I experienced a problem I
have never
had with any redhat or fedora releases. The anaconda could not detect
my vidio
graphics card. This is a nvidia geforce FX 5200 card. This card has
been detected
on previous installs (FC4). Because of this I did not get a graphical
install.
The install took 2 and a half hours (fresh install). As such no
xorg.conf file
was produced. System-config-display aborted. Because of this I had no
X window
capability. This is totally unexceptable. I had to go back and
reinstall FC4.
I know fedora is a bleeding edge distribution but this is not
accepted. I am
seriously thinking of switching distributions.
Yeah - odd that Fedora is the only distribution to ever have an
installer bug, isn't it ...
Anyway - a better thing to do would be
1) Specify your hardware
a) Motherboard (if you know it)
b) Computer Make (if you don't know motherboard)
c) RAM installed
d) Maker of the video card. Use hardware browser in FC4 to get info
about it.
Then maybe someone might know what is going on, and may be able to make
a suggestion (such an argument to pass when starting the installer)
that
will help your experience go a little smoother.
I had a RedHat Linux installation that did not recognize my video card.
For the Optic 620 with the flat screen 1704FPVt, I had to use
linux text nofb
and establish the video after the system was installed.
Read the information in F2 and F3 before entering the boot command
