QUOTE(powerwoot @ Nov 2 2010, 09:17 PM) Just installed Linux Mint 10 RC into the hdd. Quite tricky to turn the x on. Just to share my initial findings, this distro not so friendly into certain nvidia gc. After the grub, no x.. screen at the saving mode. Workaround, in grub hit 'tab' and 'e', between the row of kernel parameters insert 'nomodeset' just before the 'quiet splash' and ctrl+x to reboot. In opensuse, nvidia gc by default nouveau driver will be loaded. 'nomodeset' only to be use whenever the proprietary nvidia driver to be install. The best about this distro, tons of apps is waiting for us as the repos already there compare to opensuse the repos need to be create manually. Linux mint and ubuntu are sharing the same repos. how about this code? : CODE nouveau.modeset=0 This post has been edited by scorps: Nov 3 2010, 10:53 AM |
