No graphics on startup: ATI 5770
« on: June 09, 2010, 05:34:35 AM »
Hi there I was having big issues with the radeon/fglrx driver so i switched to the Xorg ATI driver. However now PCLOS wont boot into linux graphics
upon selection (in grub) i see that fading in bull then it starts showing me the console and eventually asks me for a log in.
How do I fix this?

write XFdrake and select again the video driver you were using
