From Keenerd's 600e post.
I also have the same problems with a 600e.1.0.4 works fairly well. Sound and cardbus are still good. However, video has gotton much more interesting. After X loads, everything goes wrong. Xvesa makes X look fine (small distortion at the right edge of the screen, but very minor). However, the command line is gone. I just get a flat blue screen. I can blindly type "startx" and X loads normally. This only happens after loading X. The boot looks normal, not blue.
When I was installing grub it asked which video mode I wanted to use and I chose standard, "the safe selection". Since I know that the display works correctly only at 1024x768x16,should I have used that setting when grub asked?
Can I just edit the line in grub that refers to video and change kernel
Code: Select all
/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 ro vga=normal
Code: Select all
/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 ro vga=1024x768x16
