Guest patm Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 I have been having this problem with Beta 3,4 and 5 The program appears to boot, until the time the graphic screen for login should appear. It doesn't go into graphic screen just a black screen with dashes. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = I have installed previous versions with no problems. 10.1 10.2 2005 LE 2006 Beta 1 2006 Beta 2 I was hoping the problem would have been corrected by now but I am still having the problem with 0.5 beta The computer is a Toshiba Equium 7350s Graphics settings: Intel i810e chipset Viewsonic A70-2 Monitor 1024x768 [moved from Installing Mandriva by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 When installing, did you get the usual summary screen, and then click the configure button for the graphics card before completing installation. I have an Intel card in my laptop, and I have to do this when I install, else I have similar problems. Another thing that might be worthwhile trying is downloading the drivers for your card from Intel's website. Press ALT-F1 to get a terminal screen, login and then su and supply root password. Then type init 3. This will get you out of the failed GUI screen, so that you just have runlevel 3. Then the drivers can be installed with rpm -Uvh dri-I915xxxxxxx (rest of filename).rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
