T0ken Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Some of you may remember this issue I had: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=73234 Right now, I'm trying to install Mandriva One 2009 (instead of the free version as in the thread linked above) and I've come across the same problem. I know how to fix the problem, I just don't know if I can do so before the Live CD boots. My question is, is there a boot option that either: a) forces the use of the Xorg vesa driver b) boots into a text mode without loading X Server at all (similar to how the boot option "linux init=3" worked for these users back in 2006 http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?t=50402&) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Booting in text mode is a simple matter of appending "3" to the kernel boot options (in Grub or Lilo). Then you can edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and replace the graphics driver with "vesa", or better run drakx11 and let it edit the file. Yves.
