GUI goes nuts booting Live DVD
Posted: Sat Apr 22, 2017 10:35 pm
Hi everyone, I have 2 dell laptops that the live DVD will not boot up on. The text part is fine but even if I choose VESA the screen goes nuts and I can not regain anything legible. My only recourse is to ctrl-alt-f2, log in as root and shutdown. I have gotten other OS's to boot into their gui with VESA so I'm not sure what is going on here. Both of these laptops have NVIDIA Quadro NVS 135M or 140M graphics and I suspect even if VESA is chosen GhostBSD still attempts to load the latest Nvidia (376) driver which is incompatible with these older chips. Is there any way to force GhostBSD to load the VESA driver for sure? I'd love it if you had a text install. Then I could load the driver after install. Thanks.
