if the graphics driver is the problem you should be able to boot to single user mode and edit xorg.conf before starting X.
Edit the boot command line to boot to init level 3 (or single), you can remove "silent" too if you want to see all the boot script output. After editing xorg.conf, run startX to bring up the graphics driver. regards Joel -----Original Message----- From: Arthur Hsiao [mailto:ahsiao...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 02, 2010 6:03 PM To: Verma, Ishu Cc: Clark, Joel; dev@moblin.org; Hawley, Grace M; Jacobosky, Brian; Abdel-karim, Hytham A; Blum, Kirk Subject: Re: [Moblin Dev] Can moblin-2.1-PR-Final-ivi-201002090924.img be installed on the device with ONLY LVDS output?
