log in prompt out of screen
Hello experts, I have currently installed SL6.4 on a machine with PCM-3362 PC104 Atom processor. Everything works apart from the login screen cannot be seen each time after booting to the splash. It seems like the log in prompt is out of the screen. The mouse cursor is there. After a while, I can move the cursor and hit the return key then I can see the log in prompt. I have tried all combination after googling on the web with the resolution, frequency settings etc with no luck. The machine can be used but very awkward each time I have to hit the return key to get the log in screen. Has anybody seen the same symptom? How can I fix it please? Many thanks, Jim

Many thanks, Jim Jim, We are going to need a bit more information for anyone to help you. Can you provide chipset versions (lspci), what driver you are using, and probably the Xorg log file to get a better idea of what is going on. -Mark -- Mr. Mark V.

RE: log in prompt out of screen
Thanks Mark for your reply. I will try to get the info. Yet the unit is now on a remote site so may take a while. Will come back once I have it.
