Don't run through the wizard either way, it may have unpredictable results. Once you've tested, reboot to runlevel 3 (add '3' as a kernel parameter), quit out of the system-config menu thing that loads up, log in as root, and change /etc/sysconfig/firstboot back to NO and disable the firstboot service.
thanks!
sorry for the delay -- yes, that solves my issue, i can now see the entire screen in firstboot. and i ran thru firstboot in its entirety since this is just a test system and there's nothing worth saving. so, from the perspective of just being able to see the entire screen, it looks good.
Great, I was worried it wouldn't work in the case the second display doesn't exist at all, glad to know it does! The fix won't make the beta, unfortunately, but will make final.
OTOH, xdpyinfo still thinks i have a 2080x800 display but we already know that's a different issue.
Yup.
