I think these are ignored by Xorg. >> Is there a Fedora equivalent to the "xforcevesa" boot parameter? > > Anaconda has xdriver where you can specify VESA, e.g. xdriver=vesa > [...] > I am not sure what xforcevesa does really "xforcevesa" forces Xorg to use the VESA driver. Please note and admire the unusual feat of a terse boot paramater doing exactly what its name says. You would typically combine this with "nomodeset" <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Installer options (user-land)> The main visible effect of xforcevesa is to simply generate a dummy xorg.conf file with a "Driver vesa" line. This happens early, even when booting in single user mode. Dunno about the rest, if any. xforcevesa is (part of?) what Ubuntu calls "Safe Graphics Mode", codenamed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BulletProofX. Google will find a lot of pages about it. xforcevesa applies to (Ubuntu) live images (unlike xdriver=vesa? Disappointing) Would "Fedora live" have any interest in such a feature? It looks very useful to me. Especially since Intel increased "commitment" in Xorg. -- livecd mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/livecd
