This looks like a pretty simple bug. In
/afs/athena/system/rhlinux/installer/phase2 we have the following code:
echo -n 'Do custom X setup? [y/N]: '
read response
case "$response" in
y)
custom_x=yes
;;
*)
custom_x=no
;;
but then later on, we do this test:
if [ "$custom_x" = true ] ; then
chroot $ROOT /usr/sbin/mouseconfig
chroot $ROOT /usr/X11R6/bin/Xconfigurator
else
chroot $ROOT /usr/sbin/mouseconfig --kickstart
chroot $ROOT /usr/X11R6/bin/Xconfigurator --kickstart --hsync 30-96 --vsync 48
-120
fi
Changing the test inside the if state should fix the bug.
Greg: since the phase2 script doesn't appear to be under any
source management (I was able to find numbered emacs ~ files in the
install locker, but that's it), can you take care of fixing this in the
sources and letting me know when I should push a new phase2 into the
athena cell?
