Unhappy Installing 14.1 in HP series 2000 end in blank screen


Hi,

We are trying installing Slackware 14.1 64 bits in a HP series 2000 that has UEFI.

The installation goes well but then when I start Slackware the system starts but at one point in the load screen the screen goes blank and nothing happens then.

Seems that its a problem with the integrated Graphics driver (described in other forums like Ubuntu and Fedora). But how can I fix it if Slackware is not loaded?

Thanks,
Carlos.

Slackware is loaded, and the system is started, but the graphics haven't started properly.

I have this problem. What I do is wait until all disk activity stops then type root and hit return then enter the root password and hit return then type startx. Although you cannot see what you are typing, if it is just a graphics/framebuffer problem then you will get a graphic environment.

If that works change the start run level in /etc/inittab to 4, this will allow you to boot straight to a graphic login, then you will be able to see what you are doing to fix the problem.
