Hi all,
I'm trying to install oneiric on an external USB drive (with EFI boot). Installation works flawlessly, the system boots fine. But when it starts the graphical environment, the screen goes black. I assume it must be an issue with the ati drivers. The frustrating thing is: for whatever reasons, I could get a fully functional graphical desktop a couple of times, by booting with "nomodeset" and install xorg:fglrx with jockey-text. But then, after an update, I see some dkms messages, and the screen goes black again. I have tried the jockey method, and I have installed the fglrx package directly from the ARI website, So far, I haven't found a reliable way to boot into the graphical desktop, and I'm not really sure what's going wrong. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks pindar
