Acer Aspire 5738 - blank screen after installation

askb · June 8, 2009, 6:46am

Hello all,

I recently purchased (after 6 months of savings) Acer aspire 5738 laptop, which comes with a in built Intel graphics card (GM45 or GMA4500MHD). Very enthusiastically, i recently installed opensuse 11.1 x86 DVD, but later was disappointed to see only a blank screen after booting.

I have been reading lots of thread and googling, but unable to find any concrete solution for this issue. There are some suggestion that update drivers are available only in 2.6.28 kernel(not sure about this).

has anyone else faced this issue and resolved this with the same graphics card using opensuse 11.1?

should i compile a new kernel and install ?

kindly provide your valuable guidance.

Thanks in advance.

PS note that i am a layman in this domain, and help would be greatly appriciated.

First try a Failsafe boot, see if that will boot to a GUI

Otherwise this should get you in, so you can investigate further:

Pause the boot by moving the down arrow, then back up to the default boot. But now press backspace, it should delete any text where you can see VGA=.
Remove all text and now type just the number:
3
and hit enter

at the login type your user name and then password
now type:
su
then the root password

now type this:
sax2 -r -m 0=vesa
(N.B. the 0 is a zero not a letter)
now reboot

if you don’t get a gui login
login as user and try this at the cli
startx

Yes, failsafe gets me into the GUI mode, but not with good resolution and 3d and graphics disabled

askb · June 8, 2009, 7:50am

I tried the above steps mentioned: after reboot again it goes to the blank screen.
but logs me in as i have set the autologin for the user.

Is thr anything that could be done in the failsafe mode ??

caf4926 · June 8, 2009, 9:22am

Boot in Failsafe and go to Yast Hardware - graphics and Monitor

This what mine looks like:
http://thumbnails3.imagebam.com/3553/2f5c7735525251.gif](http://www.imagebam.com/image/2f5c7735525251)

But Intel Graphics can be fickle. I’m lucky mine works excellently.

Try setting it to LCD–>
find your resolution
then test it

You can save and then logout and back in to see the final result.

FYI: You should disable autologin it’s better that way if you have graphics issues.
Disable Auto-Login - openSUSE Forums

But you may have to use vesa, which is not brill.

Description:
This kernel supports up to 64GB of main memory. It requires Physical
Addressing Extensions (PAE), which were introduced with the Pentium Pro

PAE is not only more physical address space but also important for the
“no execute” feature which disables execution of code that is marked as
non-executable. Therefore, the PAE kernel should be used on any systems
that support it, regardless of the amount of main memory.

I was able to boot into failsafe mode now. Also set OFF the auto login for the user.

These are the details what i see on SaX2: X11 Configuration:

Card: Intel Mobile GM45 Express Chipset
Monitor: Unknown

Resolution: 1366x768(WXGA) and
Colours: 16.7 mio

Activate 3D acceleration and Dual head mode is “unchecked” in failsafe mode.

But unable to get my default boot in this mode ?

In the failsafe mode:

When i select a 1366x768@60hz or 1280x800@75Hz

and click on “ok” -> I get a dialog box which has “Test” or “save” buttons.
When I choose “Test” -> this take me to a blank screen. I get back to the same using CTRL +ALT + BACK SPACE ]

Am I missing out any configuration or any version i need to update it to ?

I am confused completly trying this from a last few days

caf4926 · June 8, 2009, 1:46pm

When i select a 1366x768@60hz or 1280x800@75Hz

What are you trying in combo with as the Monitor ‘LCD?’ ‘Vesa?’

askb · June 8, 2009, 1:57pm

LCD just like what you suggested. Should i also be trying vesa ?

caf4926 · June 8, 2009, 2:39pm

Well it’s worth trying anything, different combinations. My intel chip just works without any config.
Vesa is a basic driver but it may get you going, nothing fancy possible with it though.

As well, can you post the su terminal result of:

Google the module:
agpgart-intel - Google Search

Do some reading

Would need to recompile the agppart kernel module to get this work aswell ?

askb · June 8, 2009, 4:43pm

Not sure if this is related - now i see this on ‘dmesg’ cmd:

[drm:i915_getparam] ERROR Unknown parameter 5

caf4926 · June 8, 2009, 4:47pm

It’s ‘agpgart’
