Hello,
I have the following problem, restart and start the X server to peta and I get the login to the console, if I try to startx I get the error "No screens found" I tried doing a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but does absolutely nothing, ask me anything, it is curious that if I enter the recovery from the grub, and the options will tell you that continue to normal boot and then do startx, X server fully torn.
i'm using ubuntu and this is the output of "lspci -vk" :

Hi there,
We have to configure /etc/X11/xorgconfig. Back up the file and look at the file and see if you you can use vga drivers also check and see if a resolution of 800x600 works.
We can try and tune up the file later. Hope this helps.
I have found the answer, when I was reparing the playmouth , I have to modify the grub's entry of ubuntu,the I add something about nomedeset and the driver vesa, honestly I wasn't undestand what was I doing.
