Generic Solution when install gets FrameBuffer Mode Fails
- Thread starter MrPete
- Start date
heyy i have the same issue but can someone explain to me more clear how I'm supposed to do this whole process where i should put this code:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "fbdev"
BusID "pci0:01:0:0:"
EndSection
in proxmox or in windows on cmd cause im get lost
and if someone have a video explanation I Would really apriciate that

Read the openings post, it need be placed in "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/" (you can make the file with eg "Nano" but there are more editors, use the one which you know best )
use by BusID the result from your lspci request
I was also concerned if Proxmox works with Tomahawk z690 and Aorus z690 with Raptor Lake CPUs and it works perfectly fine. The problem was the BusID. I followed this step by step guide to solve it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6fRTpmmuHs&t=2s
The biggest challenge for me was how to edit where to apply the above mentioned. I figured it out watching this video. https://youtu.be/-6fRTpmmuHs
EDIT: Always check that you type everything correctly. After trying for good 10 times and failing every time, frustrated I went letter by letter slowly again, and I figured out I remembered the config file name incorrectly. Please ignore me here. Everything works as expected. Thank you!
So I was able to set this up, and everything worked exactly as described. I got into the installation!
Then selecting drives came up, and instead of all my drives, I was presented with a choice between SSD1 or SSD2, which are supposed to be a part of Hardware RAID1 config. I've read stuff online, decided to give zfs a try, rebooted, removed ALL my RAID configuration from the BIOS and started over.
Now I can't get this thing to work again. I'm following the exact same steps as before, to the dot, but now my X server just never starts. With the exact same error message as before. "Cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs."
I'm at a loss here. I'm trying to install this on AMD Ryzen 9 7900X so my understanding is this CPU is just too new for the kernel, but I had the setup run once successfully.Only because I had to disable the hardware RAID configuration I had to reboot, and I can't get the damn thing to get into the setup again.
Could the RAID config be a factor in any way here?

Depending on which text editor you used. If you went by the Youtube guide and used vi - it's ESC, ; (semicolon), then type wq (w - write changes; q - exit) and enter.
Used the YT video on my Beelink S12 Pro (N100) and it worked as well. Was beating my head into a wall trying the steps over and over again until I realized that the folder name is capitalized for X11 (/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/P).. once I sorted that it worked like a champ.
Sounds like you have other issues. If I had to guess, please ensure your BIOS/UEFI is set to actually boot from the disk you chose to install on! That's outside the purview of proxmox
