Interesting because specifying the X settings my way with resolution
1024x768 and vesa driver works perfectly. I wonder why setting a lower
resolution in the kickstart config would make that difference? Is it an
anaconda specific problem?
I hesitate to venture vague memories, since I haven't been a kadischi user
recently, but I'm remembering-
a) it's not that it didn't get to X, it's that X wasn't even installed,
i.e. no
xorg.conf at all (and that happened as well before I tried specifying vesa,
and most of the other non default xconfig items)
b) after going through the kadischi/anaconda code, I suspected it had something
to do with anaconda's rootpath option skipping the X config phase. And I
assumed that the X config phase of anaconda was where anaconda decided which X
server packages to install (completely seperate from the intuitive assumption
that the default @Office and other stuff would get you an X server, since
that's all my system's /root/anaconda-ks.cfg had, and it certainly had x
installed configured and running).
