Not paying my Google bill this month) Pulling nomodeset gets me lots of stuff that looks exciting in Xorg.0.log but leaves me with a black display after spitting out the now-displayed boot messages (which go by far too quickly to read - maybe I'll video with my phone). Assuming that nomodeset really is what I want and that now I need to get the card configured for some mode I can see, how would I do that? I'm also seeing that tdm.log has unhappiness in it, namely: (==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d" nvc0_screen_create:762 - Error allocating PGRAPH context for M2MF: -16 EGL_MESA_drm_image required. Jul 21 16:53:18 tdm[1812] error: X server startup timeout, terminating (II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file. Jul 21 16:54:13 tdm[1812] error: X server for display :0 can't be started, session disabled The line with the PGRAPH thing turned up a bug against Puppy linux at https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/1675811 that seems similar ... ick. I really regret dumping the Ubuntu 14.04LTS image that was pre-installed on this system because while not configured for TDE, it was driving the card/display correctly. :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
