I see, you would have something wrong in your dmesg if that was the |
| 61 |
problem. Anyway, using vesa is still the easy way to get X working |
| 62 |
plain and simple. |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
I just bring that up because some time ago an old machine here at work |
| 65 |
had similar (almost identical) issues with video, and since it was a |
| 66 |
simple kiosk machine, I changed it from the original (nvidia) driver |
| 67 |
to vesa and it worked. |
