Description Dimitrios Glentadakis 2014-02-16 16:41:49 CET

In a notebook msi u110 with plousbo GMA500
After installation i have only text mode available
Even with vesa it fails
To have graphics interface i have to install the package:
x11-driver-video-modesetting

I had the same problem with Mageia 3
https://ml.mageia.org/l/arc/discuss/2013-05/msg00270.html

And the above package solves it:
https://ml.mageia.org/l/arc/discuss/2013-06/msg00086.html

The x11-driver-video-modesetting has to be installed by default in this notebook.

Same problem, same fix for me.
I saw this on a server with Matrox card after installing Mageia 4.
I didn't care much because, hey, it's a server in a closet.  I set it to boot to multiuser rather than graphics and forgot about it.
But installing x11-driver-video-modesetting does indeed fix it so that startx or boot to level 5 works as it should.

Dup.
We should backport this fix to mga4
