Screen problem

Post by omik »

When I start my computer when the display is off and turn on the display afterwards there is no screen. Maybe the xserver does not start when there is no display while booting or it does not recognize the display... Any ideas what I should do?

Can't do much without more info. Copy/paste this into the terminal and copy/paste the text output here:

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxz
