Description Daniel Barthel 2011-11-07 10:31:26 UTC
the grafical autoconfig fails because it cant find an supported
grafic-card with nvidia grafic card (geforce gt 120M), the text-based
autoconfig success but it dont install a special nvidia grafic driver, it
installs the "nouveau"-driver by standart, but this one is not working
correctly with the nvidia grafic card.

as errors after the grub menu, u get for a short time a black screen with some
green stripes (from the bootlogo) on screen and the grafic seems to be very
slow and dont display everything correctly.

another problem, which i guess, is linked with this, is before u see the
kdm-login, after the boot u get a konsole window for a minute (u would be able
to access the system trought this, without login)
