Description Vladimir Zawalinski 2015-03-03 07:48:30 CET

Description of problem:

Test laptop:  NVIDIA GEforce 870 card  + proprietary driver as automatically installed by Mageia.EFI install, i7CPU, 

When character install finishes and display changes to GUI, the display shows a large grey square to the left, and the language selector screen to the right. The whole thing looks bad and could do with a tidy-up before general availability.

Graphical installer layout not good

Note the large grey square to one side and the language selector on the other. This laylout lasts throught the entire graphical installer process.

No other display issues anywhere else.

Vladmir, can you do the following:
1) attach a USB key,
2) rerun the installer
3) then go to console (alt+ctrl+f2)
4) type the "bug" command
5) attach (not paste) the report.bug file found on the usb key to this bug report

Thomas, the installer only supports 640x486, 800x600 or 1024x768.
Why do we end on such a high resolution on some UEFI machines?

report.bug

Display res was 1080 x 1920. I aborted out of the install soon after the language selection to keep the report to a manageable size.

the grub gfx auto detection detects more than we want,

I will try forcing it to try 1024x768, then 800x600, and lastly 640x480 and see how it behaves in uefi mode

Thomas, the bug report is in comment 4 of Bug 15410 above. I can do it again, but it will take me a little more time to get to it.

Yes, Samuel. It was fixed quite early on, but I forgot to notify.  It can be closed as fixed.

Closing then.
