Hello,

is there a way to bypass the probing of the video card during install ?

There  is  an nvidia card probed on new Dell E6510 laptop which  does
not  work  with the nv driver .  I tried vga=nnn that first work  but
anaconda then find the nvidia and X failed.

If  not,  my second question is: after installing  nvidia-x11-drv, is
there  a way to have firstboot running on the next reboot (I  removed
/etc/sysconfig/firstboot    and  /var/lock/subsys/firstboot   without
success)

Thanks for your help.
