Hi Johnny, Yes I still have the laptop. Too nice a machine to send back… The experimental kernel cannot be installed due to a missing xorg-x11- drv-vmmouse >= 14.0.0 package. Do you know where can I find that package? The graphic card may indeed be the problem as the laptop has both a HD 620 in the processor and a Nvidia device 134e (rev A2). with the Fedora 25 kernel loaded, glxinfo reports that the i915 driver could not be loaded and that Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe is used.

Did you try CTRL-ALT-F2 or -F3 ? perhaps X has just died (or not been properly started), but that would get you a text-mode consosle from which to work and experiment. if that works, you could try typing "startx" (lose the quotes). which may provide informative errors. or not.

[CentOS] Centos 7 and Kably lake: black screen
I got a new laptop as my old one died: an HP Probook 470 G4. I installed Centos 7 1511. The laptop has a Kaby Lake i5 CPU and an 01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 134e (rev a2). Fedora recognizes it as a GM108M/930MX. This may give some hints, but it is not that the standard kernel does not support it, this output comes from the 4.8.7 mainline kernel which should support this configuration? GM108 support was added in kernel 4.7, Kaby lake support was added in 4.5... When I boot nothing shows up after the UEFI Grub menu: the system runs but nothing is shown on the display, except for a non-blinking cursor in the upper left of the screen. I tried a number of things: - Installed the latest ml-kernel from Elrepo (4.8.7-1) - I also tried the following on the kernel commandline: nomodeset i915.nomodeset=0 nouveau.modeset=0 Nothing changes the fact that there is no display. I had to install Centos 7 using vnc as even a text install did not work Does anybody have some idea what the cause could be and what to try next? /Louis ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
