Hi there
I can't restart my qiana17 xfce, any farther than a black screen where the mouse only moves the pointer, but make nothing to happen...
Just a black screen, with no wallpaper, no icons, no dashboard, and nothing happening
on click (neither left nor right)
On bootstart, grub screen is normal. After I choose linuxmint xfce (windows is still on the computer) the linuxmint logo appears, then vanish letting just a black screen and nothing more...
This situation happened after the computer have been looking frozen on the screen saver, with nothing else active.
So I rebooted and fell in that mess.
The only thing I found to do is Ctl+Alt+F2 to get a linux screen for logging, which I did.
Then I'm under Linux, but I don't know what to do.
It I try xfce4-session, it answers "impossible to open display"
mdm start answers "1286" and nothing more.
I'm a real newby on linux and don't have a clue of what to do, if not reinstalling qiana???
I forgot to mention my system caracteristics:
Acer AspireOne A0751h, with poulsbo chipset
Qiana17 Xcfe installed
Just one user on this system
Thanks for help

Re: black screen for desktop
some extra information:
After logging in linux screen,
the following command
brings back the black screen from which I just came off.
So it looks like the problem is on display manager?
But what to check? and where??

Re: black screen for desktop
Did you install fglrx for AMD graphics?
I had black screen issues after installing fglrx. Uninstalling it solved it.
