Debian black screen on boot
I am still getting a black screen on boot.
The install from Nvidia's site successfully completes. however it appears that the nvidia.ko isn't getting loaded into the kernal. i did an insmod and it errors :-/ any ideas on what might cause this? the issue: am going to get debian working on my computer. I have it installed. but when you boot, after grub it appears to start xwindows then the screen goes black... I went on the cd in recue mode and tried to install the driver but no luck. The weird thing is once I am in rescue mode and do a startx gnome comes up but I can't use my mouse or keyboard. When you boot up normally I hear a sound through my speakers and the keyboard leds are working so that tells me that the keyboard is working although my monitor isn't. OS: debian 6.0.2.1 |
Do you have two video cards? I remember an issue I had when I used Ubuntu(Which is based on Debian) and my NVidia card where it would detect the NVidia card, but would default to the on-board video card, and I had to manually edit xorg.conf and point it to the PCI address of the NVidia card. If you've got two cards, try moving the monitor cable onto your on-board card and see if it works then.
