The livesystem uses xorgmaker to configure the video chip/card of the used pc/note-/netbook.
Normally the detection is ok, but there are some video chips/cards which are problematic (e. g. SIS). You can force the livesystem to use your preferred video configuration in the following way:
- Press TAB at the bootprompt of the livesystem, then you will have a command-line at the bottom of the screen!
- Here you can add one of the following options to configure your video chip/card:
- add RESOLUTION=xy
- for xy you can insert: 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1152x864, 1280x1024, 1400x1050, 1600x1200, 1680x1050, 1280x800, 1440x900, 800x480, 1024x600, 1280x768, 1920x1200
- add 60Hz
- for 60Hz you can insert: 75Hz, 85Hz, 100Hz and 150Hz
- add vesa
- for vesa (safe mode) you can insert: fbdev, ati, intel, mga, neomagic, nv, openchrome, s3, s3virge, savage, sis, sisusb, tdfx, trident, tseng, v4l, vmware, fglrx (if ATI driver installed!), nvidia (if NVIDIA driver installed!)
- add 24bit
- for 24bit you can choose: 8bit, 15bit, 16bit, 32bit
- here an example, which you may add to the command-line, one space after 'autoexec=telinit~4':
... autoexec=telinit~4 vesa RESOLUTION=1024x768 24bit 60Hz
Then the system will boot with a video configuration with vesa driver in a resolution of 1024x768 with a frequency of 60Hz and a colorrate of 24bit ...
Just use your preferred configuration if the system will stop with a black display ...
flux.
