1 - Boot from live USB key
2 - Edit grub/boot stanza so that selinux=0
3 - Watch laptop screen turn black when OS boots.
Unfortunaley no VGA monitors are detected either
What is the nvidia card?
When is the screen turning black?
If you edit the grub/boot to also add '3' so you boot to runlevel 3, do
you get a prompt?
I'm asking because I've had to add:
quiet vga=794 selinux=0 iommu=soft acpi_osi=Linux
to mine.
The iommu=soft is to get the nvidia/nouveau to work
The acpi_osi=Linux is to get the FN-F8 to switch screens correctly.
