Mageia forum

Hi,
On a Sony Vaio laptop, pressing CTRL+ALT+F2 for instance gives me a blurred terminal with the issue message and login prompt repeated six times on the screen. That is two columns with three each.

The screen is blurred and unusable.

Any idea?

thanks

What graphics card and video driver do you use?

Hi dokto5000,

I am using nVidia proprietary driver. I'll try to post the outcome of the commands when I get to the laptop later.

Hi doktor5000

I've marked the relevant options in bold. You should replace nokmsboot by nomodeset, see viewtopic.php?p=54909#p54909
Also see http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual ... ml#gfxmode and http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual ... gfxpayload

This is what I currently use and it works fine with propriertary nvidia driver, although the text scrolling is pretty slow, you might want to lower the resolution even more:

Code: Select all

GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024x32
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1280x1024x32
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=gfxterm

After making changes, run update-grub as root to update the grub configuration, then reboot and test.

It does not work. Only made Grub Menu on reboot with lower resolution!!

Then you have to try for yourself, I've already provided pointers to the relevant documentation.

Thank you..I'll try to find a solution and update here..
