Re: Black screen in lmde on nvidia cards , how to fix.
Postby ahulsbos on Sun Dec 26, 2010 8:25 am I ran into the same problem with my Compaq nc 8000 laptop, which sports an ATI Mobility Radeon 9600. Just adding "nomodeset" before the "--" in the boot line didn't help. However, in compatibility mode the "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" file yielded a clue:
(EE) VESA: Kernel modesetting driver in use, refusing to load
It turned out the "radeon" driver was being loaded as well as the "vesa" one (you could see it happening as the font of the terminal changed). So this enabled me to start the installation process: edit the compatibility mode boot line to add both "nomodeset" and "radeon.modeset=0".
