Slacko 5.6 failed loading Xorg at boot

#1 Post by matiasbatero »

Hi, i recently downloaded Slacko 5.6 PAE version and everything works ok during CD-boot, but when X.org server is loaded, then my screen crash with color lines, distorted graphics... the system then break and you can't do nothing more, except restart..

My system is:
AMD APU 5600K with Radeon HD 7560D
Motherboard Gigabyte f2a85xm-d3h

My hardware works OK.

The crash screen is static and is 99% similar to this:

boot: puppy radeon.modeset=0

Have you tried Xvesa instead of Xorg? Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and you go at prompt. Type:

Code: Select all

xorgwizard
Choose Xvesa. Then:

Code: Select all

xwin
to start X.
