Video Problems

[cshafer213]

Hello,

The Fedora installation program runs normally in graphical mode, but when the reboot happens at the end I get a blank screen. I would love to change the driver to "vesa" in xorg.conf. How do I change that before my screen goes blank? I can't find anywhere in the installation process where I can tell it to use the "vesa" driver.

Thanks

When you are at the 'blank screen' again, hit CTRL/ALT/F6 to get to a virtual terminal. Login as root. Type cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak. That will serve as a backup of the file. Type vi /etc/X11/xorg/conf. When vi starts up hit the INS key. Scroll down to where you find your video driver. Change it to vesa. Hit ESC and then the wq! keys and press enter. Reboot and see if you are all set.

Just a note, instead of INS you may have to hit i and for wq! I think you need a colon first (:wq)... INS used to work but for some reason an upgrade of vi broke it on my comp :confused:
