arch install using last iso on a USB stick I'm still haven't got Intel graphics or the screen backlight working and the WiFi drivers are kind of flaky, let me know if you've had any luck with those I think I had to boot in EFI mode for the NVidia drivers to work, I've been using refined rather than grub since that seemed to be easier to install and configure. There's a post on the OpenSuse forums that I found pretty useful, especially the couple of kernel patches that the guy wrote. The NVidia driver loads X but then if I Ctlr-Alt-F1 back to terminal everything the screen is black.įor what it's worth, I'm currently using Arch (mostly) on one of these laptops. The nouveau drivers actually started X but the graphics were just all screwed up. I think the i915 drivers didn't do that for me, but they wouldn't load X.
The nouveau driver was messing up my screen as well. I downloaded the package from the NVidia website and ran it myself instead of using the arch package since I built my own kernel. I'm using nvidia driver 295.49 right now, but the 302.17 driver worked fine as well and was easier to install. config if you want to look at that, but it may not be very good. I don't have any special kernel arguments, and the ones do have probably don't apply for you (root=/dev/sda4 rootflags=ssd,discard,subvol=/arch init=/sbin/mkinit boot). I think it worked with a few other version as well, so anything from the past few weeks should be fine. I'm using Linus's master from a few days ago, but it should be pretty much the same as to the 3.5-rc5. What combination of linux+nvidia are you running (and which kernel arguments)? However, even after installing nvidia-beta-all the X server just doesn't start up.
The stable kernel still hangs at booting, the linux-mainline from aur boots fine. I still haven't managed to get the X server running on this thing.
