f10 beta not recognising Resolution

kost-bebix · #1 8th October 2008, 08:50 AM

Hi! So I am trying to install f10beta on my x86 pc.

I boot from disk. choose "Install or upgrade an existing system" menu. It is loading vmlinuz, initrd.img blablabla.

"Waiting for hardware to initialize..." is the last thing I see (in text mode). After that my display says "Out of range:
horizontal rate: 81.5 KHz
vertical rate: 76.5 Hz".

Please help.

p.s.: oh, I forgot to give this topic full name, but it is not editable. Sorry)

Oh. I thnk I've just blindly pressed down key, then hit enter and installation continued (it shows me installation window now :-). Interesting)))

Well, it was fine. Installation continued. Installation complete.

But there are serious things going on.
1. Where is my grub? (anaconda didn't ask me about grub, but that's not the main thing)
2. When I boot some part of boot is with the lag of resolution again (I can't see that graphical loading again) ((that's not the main thing too))
3. I've installed kde-only (not gnome). When I log in it load kde (everything is fine), then it loads two copies of SCIM to tray (one in russian and second in english) and kde breaks after that scim loads. Only one thing that works is SCIM and it's menus. I want to boot to console to remove that SCIM, but I don't know how (my loading process is blind :-)

h.e.l.p.

Oh, sorry, grub is there. He's just too fast (another thing you should blind is pressing "down". Is new fedora for blind? :-)

Thanks for the tip. I was just about to do that, but fortunely when in kdm I pressed "Console login", then (happens thing with resolution again) blinedly :-) pressed these keys:

[my login]
[my pwd]
su -
[root's pwd]
yum -y remove scim*

Wait some time and reboot. That helps.
