Description Octavian 2008-04-14 20:26:10 UTC

During the installation in X environment, the screen goes black due to the "display power management" feature available by default in XFCE. However, in my case, it never comes back (probably due to a buggy driver).
Therefore, I had to hard-reset the machine several times until I disabled the power management.

Maybe it's a good idea to disable the "display power management" for the installation process.

Best regards,
Octavian

We leave the XFCE configuration at its default, and we have no plans to change this.
