Fresh Install shows Black Screen after selecting Basic Graphics Mode (SD Oled)
Good evening. With the new update I decided to jump the gun and setup Bazzite on my SD Oled. After using Rufus to slap it onto my flash drive and booting into the drive, I selected Troubleshoot > Basic Graphics mode. It runs a normal looking setup before it just blanks away entirely and almost looks like it bricked. I have tried the install process again alongside grabbing another ISO and utilizing Rufus again on the USB but the issue is still there. Apologies if this question was answered before and thanks in advance.

Fedora Media Writer seemed to have done the trick. I tried my Type C Hub again and it worked just fine, that first time probably was a fluke. Thanks a bunch! @asen23 @Dwarrelpoot

maybe try fedora media writer or ventoy?
also check the iso checksum
Same issue. Checksum checks out, ventoy, rufus, balena etcher same issues
Plugging in an external monitor fixes the issue
Checksum was fine and I did try Balena Etcher
I can use the normal Install option but it makes the screen very zoomed in. External monitor I tried once and there was no video out, I will probably try again after work.
For the external monitor were there any bios settings or any settings at all thst you changed? I couldn't get video out from my Type C hub but I have only tried once. Just wanted to double check I'm not missing done key detail or overlooking some small setting
someone said etcher has some problem, did you try fedora media writer?
Have yet to try
I'll give it a spin after work
No haven't changed anything, used an HDMI dock. Tried a few apps to flash the drive but result was always the same.
Older builds worked perfectly fine (but sadly I only got the .iso for the botched update key and the botched kernel lol)
