Hello,
I recently installed Debian Etch as a dual boot on my
laptop . I am having an issue with logging off .
Also ctrl+alt+f1 does not bring me to the shell . All
I get is a black screen in both the cases and i have
to manually shutdown my laptop and reboot.
I am however able to shutdown and restart from within
gnome.I am new to linux so cant figure out whats
wrong. I tried to find out what onboard video card im
using from within windows by right clicking on the
desktop then going to :
display properties->settings->advanced->adapter and
there it says : VIA Chrome9 HC IGP.
I have already tried the following troubleshooting
steps but it didnt work :
Already tried steps :
---------------------
1) Tried ctrl+alt+f5 , ctrl+alt+f7 ,
ctrl+alt+backspace but get the same black screen and
have to manually shutdown and reboot.
2) Added vga=771 at the end of the kernel line in
/boot/grub/menu.lst . Also tried vga=773,vga=791
3) Ran the command
su cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep "Driver" to get
information on driver and the output of the above
command is :
Driver "kbd"
Driver "mouse"
Driver "vesa"
What could be going wrong ?
Please help.
Thanks :)
