Hello.
I have the same problem as that: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=116471
The reason is that black screen, who appeared together with kernel26-2.6.37 (for the kernel26-2.6.38).
I have tried other Linux distributions with the same versions of kernel26 to check whether the kernel is actually the cause of the problem. It turns out that YES.
Yesterday on a separate partition I installed Arch with unlocked testing repository. I made complete configuration X(xfce4) and added user to all groups. Unfortunately, I only pre-load system. Log on to shell the user account and the execution startx is already taking place with the black screen. Graphical environment is loaded as if my monitor was only 10% brightness. To see what I'm doing on the desk, I have to watch from a distance of 5-10cm. Black screen appears regardless of whether the KMS is active or inactive.
I join the logs to read: dmesg.log and Xorg.0.log.
How to deal with this problem? Who should I report it?
If you need more information ... please write and I'll try to put them here.
That solution work for me when i install ArchLinux with kernel 2.6.36 or lower , apply that solution and update
[I had the same problem, solved by adding a /etc/rc.local
setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=00
To adjust the brightness to add to the kernel line:
acpi_osi=Linux
That solution work only when i install ArchLinux with kernel 2.6.36 or lower, apply the solution and next up to date, but that way isn't confortable for me, and here is my question: How can i install latest relles of ArchLinux??
Maybe, I can install it on VirtualBox, apply fix and copy virtualbox hard disk, to my HDD, should it work?
or maybe, i can edit ArchBang iso, and add that solution to rc.local, next save the changes in iso, burn the iso on a CD, and next install
Now I have instaled on my HDD only Windows XP
