Expected Results
- The installer boot screen displays the option, Install system with basic video driver
- The graphical installer displays properly and uses the vesa driver. Confirm vesa driver usage by inspecting
/tmp/X.log. You should see output similar to the following:- [ 71.321] (II) VESA(0): initializing int10
- [ 71.325] (II) VESA(0): Primary V_BIOS segment is: 0xc000
- [ 71.326] (II) VESA(0): VESA BIOS detected
- [ 71.326] (II) VESA(0): VESA VBE Version 2.0
- [ 71.326] (II) VESA(0): VESA VBE Total Mem: 4096 kB
- [ 71.326] (II) VESA(0): VESA VBE OEM: VGABIOS Cirrus extension
- [ 71.326] (II) VESA(0): VESA VBE OEM Software Rev: 1.0
- [ 71.326] (II) VESA(0): VESA VBE OEM Vendor: VGABIOS Cirrus extension
- [ 71.326] (II) VESA(0): VESA VBE OEM Product: VGABIOS Cirrus extension
- [ 71.326] (II) VESA(0): VESA VBE OEM Product Rev: 1.0
- The installed system is configured with a boot argument:
xdriver=vesa. This can be confirmed by inspecting/etc/grub.confor/proc/cpuinfoon the installed system. - When X starts on the installed system, it should be using the vesa driver. Confirm by running
xdriinfo- $ xdriinfo
- Screen 0: vesa
