HP dv4-2170us Black screen on boot

Hi, I just switched over from Kubuntu for the better packaging of the KDE4 desktop. The installer ran well, but now both the regular and failsafe selections from GRUB go to a black screen once the boot process finishes.

On Kubuntu, I was never able to get accelerated graphics working, but the desktop showed up as long as I had my video driver set to VESA. This isn’t a good solution, though, I would really like to have accelerated graphics. I used the 64-bit installation.

I think this machine has a fairly new version of the Intel integrated graphics chip set as well as the Intel core i5 cpu. I wish I could give you the output from “lspci” but I don’t have a working Linux installation on here now.

Any ideas?

Hmm… after a bit more research, it seems like I’m probably SOL at the moment.

Apparently drivers are unstable at best at the moment, and it’s unlikely I could get them installed easily on OpenSUSE.
