Description

A complete installation using the vesa driver for installation.


How to test

  1. Boot the installer using any available means (DVD, netinst/boot.iso, Live or PXE)
  2. At the initial screen, select Troubleshooting -> Install Fedora in basic graphics mode
  3. Proceed with normal installation

Expected Results

  1. The installer boot screen displays the option Troubleshooting -> Install Fedora in basic graphics mode
  2. The graphical installer displays properly and uses the vesa driver. Confirm vesa driver usage by inspecting /var/log/Xorg.0.log, /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
  3. The installed system should contain a /etc/X11/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/XX-somename.conf file which specifies the vesa driver in the Device section
    Fix in progress
    This requirement might not be satisfied until we solve bug 858270
  4. The installed system should contain nomodeset keyword specified in the kernel boot line. You can check by inspecting /proc/cmdline and /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.
  5. When X starts on the installed system, it should be using the vesa driver. Confirm by checking /var/log/Xorg.0.log for similar output to the above from the installer
