No working graphics with Live CD thinkpad z61m with ati X1400

[Daniel]

The Live CD didn't work (Bug 119245), so I had to use the text-based one from the alternative cd. However, it was unable to even give me a VESA mode, and the Xorg log told me that no working modes were found, or something like that.

I've used VESA modes before, in Fedora Core 6. Interestingly, however, I had the same problem when I tried to install Fedora 7. Maybe it's a Xorg 1.3 problem.

I installed the fglrx driver (from console mode) and it worked.

This bug is likely due to bug 87244.
