I am installing Fedora Core 4 on a machine with a Cyrrus GD544x Graphics
controller on the motherboard.

Anaconda will not work in graphics mode. When installed the graphics does
not work just displays unintelligable vertical lined display.

This machine has had I believe Fedora Core 2 on it before. And Knoppix works
fine on it.

Help,

Aaron

Looks like it did not find the monitors DCC and has defaulted to an old type
monitors settings.

I have tried patching /etc/X11/xorg.conf but cannot seem to get a working
configuration.

Any help welcome,

Aaron

Anything particular you observe that makes you think that?

I don't quite understand... Anaconda is the installation program, right?
running off some mixture of ramfs root file system, and a mounted CD.
Did you patch /etc/X11/xorg.conf on the ramfs? Would yo give away a slight
hint about what you did?

(Not that I think I would be able to help you, I have never had any similar
graphics controller. I just thought you might attract a useful comment or two
if you don't keep the cards so tightly to your chest. This isn't poker, is
it?)

Hi Aaron,

You will find the issue actually has to do with a bug in the gc
compiler distributed with
FC4 stock distribution... the only way to 'fix' it is to configure yu
and update the x11 components to the latest updates.
