Hi Trent & Erik, I believe those hidden text or peculiar format that you had referred to might be because part of those text I actually copied and pasted directly from the forum which I quoted the text. Sorry for the confusion caused.
I now present the part of the copied text from my original email, and compare it with what I had re-typed, to see any difference: <Start Original Copy Text> *Black Screen/ Video Modes* This usually required with AMD or nVidia , suggested kernel parameters: in place of quiet splash , adding acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor </Start Original Copy Text> Text re-typed: Black Screen/Video Modes This usually required with AMD or nVidia, suggested kernel parameters: in place of quiet splash, we add: acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor H.T.H.
