No video need nonfree package

[twosheddz]

I just installed Mageia 2. During install there was a mention of needing a driver for my video card in nonfree repository. After reboot, the display was just colored fuzz. Is there a way to correct this through the rescue function or CLI (which I rarely use)?

Have you tried following the suggestions in the errata?

@twosheddz: FWIW, here's a link to the errata: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_2_Errata and here's the relevant subtopic https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_2_Err ... are_Issues
As you didn't even mention what graphics card you have, i can't give you more detailed help.

@martinw: Please look at his number of posts, i don't think the locations of all relevant sites are already known for novices
