Hello all,
I tried the i386 live CD and i386 install DVD. I had a Nvidia Riva TNT card
in one system (I was running RedHat 7.1, don't ask), and it could not start
X during startup. I tried vga=791 and xdriver=vesa, but X would not work.
I removed the card and used the built-in video chip, and it started up
without a problem. Anyone know of a work around for this nvidia driver
problem?
xdriver= only takes effect for install CDs, not live CDs, since atm only
anaconda looks for that option on kcmdline.
I believe we'll try to load nouveau on all nv chips now, but it doesn't
support nv3 chips because wow that's ancient, so this is probably a case
where we should use nv instead.
