black-grey screen and how to add kernel nomodeset in F20?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I have had this issue for a while (both in F19 and F20 -- really my
only issue) on a Dell XPS 14. So, basically, after a while, and at
unclear intervals, of lying in idle mode (and unrelated to any task I
have been running from what I can tell), the screen goes black. Not
the black that is when it it hibernated or shutdown, but a greyish
black. The machine is unresponsive, however some key-presses set up by
me do send it instructions to hibernate (and it does so). It does come
back as if nothing happened, but for the hibernate. 

I wonder if this is caused by kernel modesetting (which has always been
a sore point with almost everything I have had) so I was wondering if
the nomodeset should be enabled? If so, how does one go about this on
F20? (And of course, are there other explanations for this behavior?)
There does not seem to be anything on the log files for me to clue in
on.

Many thanks for reading! And thanks also for any helpful suggestions!!

Best wishes,
Ranjan
