So, I did a fresh install of 710 from the dvd and noticed that the screen would flicker when the UI was up. So, I went to update the video driver and now I receive this message after bootup.
Failed to start X
I have tried holding down shift during bootup, but the AV wizard won't show up. my xorg.conf is set to use the nvidia driver, not vesa. Any ideas?
Had a similar issue with a intel video card, but had the same start X error, from another device, I had to ssh into my MD and run the command:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
Then you can probably hold down shift on the next reboot to get the AVWizard. Not a dev, so YMMV.
I've already tried that with now luck. Oh, and my video card is an nvidia 9 series. Can't remember exact model
I'm not sure what I did, but I made sure that the driver in my xorg.conf was listed correctly as "nvidia" and I did a dpkg-reconfig... for xorg.conf.
