Hello,
Excuse me for my English, I'm French and I'm not sure that all I say will be comprehensible.
So I explain my issue.
I have install BT5 on my Eeepc in dual boot with Windows XP.
The install was correctly done despite blackscreen when booting Live CD. I fix that with the command line "i915.modeset=1" and now BT work perfectly.
But when I launch Windows XP, I have a black screen. The system boot because I can see the loading bar and I hear the starting sound.
If someone can Help me, please.
Also, Here my grub.conf file. I try to edit the custom entry but without success.

Hi Everyone,
I'm having the same issue,
I can't proceed with the installation process. i can't even go to the 'Install BackTrack" portion. I'm stuck at the "root@root:~#" and every time i type startx the screen goes black and capslock keep flashing. I have tried editing the grub but I can't grup-update since it is in the Live CD.
I'm using MSI FX400x-i3885 with 2 GPUs, intel core i3. Tried both KDE and GNOME 64bit but same problem. I have posted my concern http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...00x-i3885.html but none is replying yet.
what should i do? anyone please,
thanks in advance.

I had similar problems with such a black screen whenever I logged out and when I tried to sudo startx on an account that couldn't sudo.
I installed the driver for my video card (ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5700) and it works perfectly now.
ok so for those of you guys that have issues with launch startx and x-windows crashing try this:
cd /root/.kde/
find . -type f -iname "*.kcache" -delete
startx
For the guys that cant even see the console after booting and they just get a blank screen try this:
when the grub boot screen comes up hit "e" for edit mode
and you should see something similar to this (note this will vary):
recordfail
insmod ext2
set root='(hd1,6)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set a6aa2dc1-4e48-4bec-86b3-d30dddae0d0b
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38 root=UUID=a6aa2dc1-4e48-4bec-86b3-d30dddae0d0b ro text splash nomodeset vga=791
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.38
The line to be concerned with here is the:
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38 root=UUID=a6aa2dc1-4e48-4bec-86b3-d30dddae0d0b ro text splash nomodeset vga=791
change it to look like this at the end:
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38 root=UUID=a6aa2dc1-4e48-4bec-86b3-d30dddae0d0b ro quiet splash i915.modeset=1 vga=791
you are just changing "text" to "quiet" and "nomodset" to "i915.modset.modeset=1"
then hit ctrl-x to boot
See if that works. If so you can make the changes permanent by editing /etc/default/grub file with the changes above.
Change:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text splash nomodeset vga=791"
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.modeset=1 vga=791"
Then at a terminal type:
update-grub
reboot and see your new display.
;) Hi friends...
at first... sorry by my english... i'm a brazillian one...
Ok... i've tried each topic of this forum...
I have a DELL VOSTRO 3300 with Intel Graphics card i915.
I'm using BT5 64bits with GNOME. To solve my problem was very simple... i just removed every thing between the quotes ("") in the line "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT"... I know... it's strange... but it's working right now... i'll attach here a copy of my /etc/default/grub file...
PLEASE!!! DON'T FORGET TO RECOMPILE THE GRUP AFTER CHANGE THE GRUB FILE... do this with the command "update-grup"
follow the grub file...
# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console
# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
GRUB_GFXMODE=1366x768
# Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true
# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries

I really hope to help...

hey guys i solved the 1st problem of no csreen found simply by typing ''fixvesa'' befor the ''startx'' it will boot normal but i have another problem now it's the wifi ( i'm booting from usb ) so the wifi on my laptop Dell inspiron n5010 core i3 had the Broadcom with bluetooth integrated so back to the problem that backtrack only show that i have lan but no wifi on my laptop.any help would be apreciated :)
This solved the problem for me (BT5 Gnome 32bit on HP ELiteBook 8440p, NVIDIA NVS 3100 graphics with 512 MB dedicated gDDR3 video memory
Intel® HD Graphics):
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text splash nomodeset vga=791"
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.modeset=1 vga=792"
Then at a terminal type:
update-grub
