LinuxMint v14 Nadia - Display problem...
Posted: Thu Nov 22, 2012 3:26 pm
My set up:
Desktop.
Processor: 4 x AMDFX-4100 Quad core.
Video: GeForce GT430/PCIe/SSE2
Monitor: LG Electronics 23"
Resolution: 1920 x 1080 at 60Hz
Downloaded LinuxMint v14 x64 yesterday. Running from LiveCD worked perfectly, so installed to HD and experienced problems.
(1) Would not boot to display. That is, the boot process appeared to complete but there was no display on the monitor. The monitor power light flashed intermittently but that was all.
(2) Booted in Safe Mode. Chose first option (default boot) and was presented with an ugly display!
(3) Went to Display Monitor options and found that the only choices I had were 1024 x 768 (which was highlighted) and 800 x 600 and the the word Laptop was displayed.
(4) Clicked on Detect Display but nothing happened.
(5) Elected to install the 104 updates which were waiting, hoping that would make a difference. It didn't.
I seek the help of the combined wisdom of members to get me out of this problem.
