Description
A complete installation using the vesa driver for installation. Note that graphical install requires 256MB RAM.
How to test
- Boot the installer using any available means (DVD, netinst/boot.iso, Live or PXE)
- At the initial screen, select the option labelled Install system with basic video driver
- To use the vesa driver during installation from a live image, press Tab key at the initial bootloader screen and add the parameters:
xdriver=vesa nomodeset
- To use the vesa driver during installation from a live image, press Tab key at the initial bootloader screen and add the parameters:
- Proceed with normal installation
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 should contain a
/etc/X11/xorg.confor/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/XX-somename.conffile which specifies the vesa driver in the Device section - When X starts on the installed system, it should be using the vesa driver. Confirm by checking
