Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] Alpha 1.15

[Newt <gen...@gm...>]

Hello,

Testing 1.15 on home built system: AMD Athlon 1800+, Abit Siluro FX5200 Nvidia
128mb agp, 2gb ram, msi mb w/ nvidia chipset

Hit enter, go through bootsplash, config monitor resolution, 'testing X... hold
tight' goes by, ~9 lines of text with the last being 'logging into root' - at this
point my monitor goes out (no signal; as if the computer shut off) but the
computer is still running. I can switch between TTYs and regain monitor but going
back to TTY2 (jwm/gui) monitor goes blank/no_signal.

In case it matters: This system is connected via kvm, however the system runs
VL6StdGold via kvm with no problems. And I test another system (p3/256mbram) same
way - works fine.

Is it possible to dictate which video driver to use at some point during the
booting/initialization process? For instance, to pass 'nv' as the video driver to
use when starting X.

Cheers, newt
