Live USB won't boot properly on Asus EEE PC 1201HAB

  • 772

For some reason, I never get an X session going. I see a bunch of startup text messages, then it just stops. I checked the Xorg.0.log and it looks like there's some issue with the vesa driver? I tried the 'nomodeset' boot option, that didn't help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Trying to manually "startx" results in these errors:

vesa: Ignoring device with a bound kernel driver
(EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Output of lspci | grep -i vga:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller (rev 07)

I heard this error has something to do with Linux kernel 3.0 and something about a kernel-based video driver?

  1. do you see black screen after boot-up ? If yes, then just login use command --> login <user-name> Then it will ask for password, so enter your password.

    And then you will see terminal. Now type startx.

    And everything works well you will see the GUI.
