Ok, while I realize that GDM cannot "hate" me, I've been trying to ditch |
2 |
SuSE10.2 for the past day, and when I install Gentoo, then reboot, it boots |
3 |
properly, init launches everything it needs to, and then the screen goes |
4 |
blank. I wait for a while, press the touchpad enable/disable button (it has |
5 |
a light and if it ceases to function I know my OS has crashed), and it's |
6 |
working. Then I wait a while, and still nothing. I try ctrl+alt+ backspace, |
7 |
and that's when the fun starts. It crashes, completely locked up, at a |
8 |
totally black screen. Only the lcd backlight is on. I've tried this with |
9 |
Gentoo and Fedora, and Elive and Xandros do the same thing on livecd's. I'm |
10 |
thinking gdm is causing my problems, so just for fun I tried Fedora sans |
11 |
Gnome and only KDE, but alas: squat. It did the exact same thing. This |
12 |
really ticks me off, because I've once again built up my appreciation for |
13 |
Gentoo, and I'm ready to try it again, but it's failing. Not only that, but |
14 |
every other distro I try fails me too, except SuSE, and I don't want to be |
15 |
stuck with it for the next few weeks. I have a Compaq Presario v6000, amd |
16 |
Turion64 x2, Nvidia graphics card, 120 gig hard disk with a good 20 gig |
17 |
free. 2 gig ram. An interesting thing is that the Gentoo livecd boots just |
18 |
fine, but it, as I understand, uses xdm as it's login manager. Help? Please? |
