[Openchrome-users] Black screen with openchrome driver

[Simon MORIN]

Hello everyone !

I have a black screen problem with openchrome driver.

I'm running Linux Debian Lenny and when using openchrome driver (same problem 
with via driver), the screen become dark. But I seem I do not lose everything 
because when I do a ctrl+backspace, I go back to the console.

What I find very strange is that there is no errors in the Xorg log. I tried 
with vesa driver an everything go in a mess, so I don't know what I can do.

Xorg server version is 1.4.0.90.

In advance, thank you very much for any help you could provide.

Best regards,

Simon MORIN

Attachements :
- xorg.conf => the configuration I tried
- lspci         => output of the lspci command
- Xorg.0.log => Xorg log generated when trying the driver
