Hi, Robert. If you can - as quickly as you can - could you test this
build of firstboot:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=136672
and see how it works for you? Just download and install the appropriate
package for your arch, then edit /etc/sysconfig/firstboot and change the
NO to YES, and run 'chkconfig firstboot on' as root. Then restart and it
should boot into firstboot. Are the buttons visible now? I hope they may
be, but I suspect they won't.
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.
OTOH, xdpyinfo still thinks i have a 2080x800 display but we already
know that's a different issue.
