KDE not loading without nomode tag in grub and bad resolution [migrated]
- by fcole90
I recently installed Linux Mint 13 KDE but it's not working fine. At first I had to use failsafe mode to boot because normal boot takes to a textual login.
If I use normal boot and text login I'm not able to run KDE nor with kdm start neither with startx.
kdm says that's already running. Instead X is not able to run because can't connect Xserver to display. If I stop kdm and starx again doesn't change anything.
Now I edited the grub to load in nomode.
In that way KDE loads but resolution is wrong and xrandr doesn't help, because if I do this:
cvt 1366 768
it changes it to 1368:
# 1368x768 59.88 Hz (CVT) hsync: 47.79 kHz; pclk: 85.25 MHz
Modeline "1368x768_60.00" 85.25 1368 1440 1576 1784 768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync
I also installed bumblebee and nvidia drivers because of optimus technology..
It worked just to have fun with glxspheres but there isn't any gain on KDE..
This is lspci output:
fabio@fabio-EasyNote-TS11HR ~ $ lspci |grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 540M] (rev ff
My notebook is an EasyNote TS with NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M.
Thank you in advance to anyone that may help!
