Ixthusdan Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 When you see the black screen, press ctrl-alt-F1 (or F2 Or F3, they are all virtual consoles). You should get a login prompt. log in. Then, type "su", enter, enter your root password, enter, and type "mc." Navigate to /etc/X11/xorg.conf . Go down to the "Device" section, and change the driver to "vesa." Save and Exit (F2, F10 twice) Go back to the blank console (either F7 or F8) and hit ctrl-alt-bkspc. Your video card is not configured correctly. Since you are probably more comfortable in the graphic user interface, let's get there first and then fix the video. What is your video card?
