Hello,

I recently installed Debian Etch as a dual boot on my laptop . I am having an issue with logging off . Also ctrl+alt+f1 does not bring me to the shell . All I get is a black screen in both the cases

console is in graphics mode with wrong driver.

2. Added vga=771 at the end of the kernel line in

/boot/grub/menu.lst . Also tried vga=773,vga=791

vga=0

3. Ran the command

su cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep "Driver" to get information on driver and the output of the above command is :

Driver "kbd" Driver "mouse" Driver "vesa"

driver vesa should be via or the unichrome drivers from via.
