Could you try booting into the graphical installer by adding 'resolution=1400x1050' to your boot command line (assuming 1400x1050 is the LCD native resolution). Did add the resolution=1400x1050 and this was in the log: * adding extraArg --resolution=1400x1050 * ddcprobe returned bogus values ID: None Name: None HorizSync: None VertSync: None Screen full gray without mouse pointer, while at first the mouse pointer was visable in the small strip on the left. So we are further from home now :-) I tried ddcprobe on the running system. It worked a few times tonight, but now (a few hours later), not anymore??? Very strange. I tried it as root in runlevel 3 and 5... I do not have this hardware to test with. Sounds like most X server related issues. Don't have hardware anymore, so will not be able to try something anymore. |
