Actually when you can get the desktop, you can edit /etc/default/grub file adding the right stanzas. You can find out your video card using a command lspci | grep VGA

Xorg -configure is needed only then when you cannot get to the desktop, so I suppose that you do need to do that .. :wink:

Problem again! :(

i915.modeset=0 = Bad graphics!

i915.modeset=1 = Black boot screen!

What to do?

You could try to make a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

1. Press Ctrl Alt F2 on the login screen
2. Login to the command line
3. Run command sudo killall Xorg
4. Run commands sudo Xorg -configure
sudo cp /home/user/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
sudo reboot
