Messed up graphics after install/grub

Postby manmetdehamer on Tue May 29, 2012 3:09 pm

Hello everyone,

I recently installed linux mint 13, i had to do this trough compatibility mode becouse otherwhise the screen would go black.
Now after a sucessfull install the screen gets stripes in all diffrent collors.
I think it has something to do with an unsuported graphic mode its trying to boot in.

Could anyone point me into the right direction to solve this?

Thanks in advance!

Linux Mint is funded by ads and donations.
