[SOLVED]black log in screen

Postby rychok » Jul 24th, '17, 17:39

Again this is Asus GL752 so it not regular hardware setup.
After installing MGA 6, on reboot there was correct login screen but after entering password noting happened, disabling nouveau and making intel xdriver worked.
Since this is dual video card laptop I have installed mageia-prime, after that I have very secure login screen. When you boot you may see Mageia logo, but for the moment you normally getting KDM screen gets blank (it looks same when driver is grabbing output) and stays that way, since I have already changed settings to bring focus to password I can actually log in and plasma is starting fine with all software reporting NVidia card working and it feels that way- is much faster than before on intel.
It would be nice to see login screen though.

It looks like I'm the only one having this problem, actually I have 2 cases of it.
The other laptop I have is hp envy m7-n109dx, successfully upgraded from Mga5. This laptop has similar hardware setup (less powerful and a little older), so I thought it should work better.
As far as net applet there are no problems with same card, Video on other hand worst ,after running mageia-prime black screen when login should be and will not start plasma (at least I can not see it because screen stays black), but X is running.I will have to check bumblebee.

Regards,

Just needed xrandr to be installed,looks like it is not as dependency for mageia-prime but is used by sddm and xdm in case of optimus setup.
