This *seems* to be a modesetting issue with the i915 graphics on this system. Adding "nomodeset" on the command line makes things work OK. We *appear* to also be able to reproduce the issue on a similarly-aged X1 Carbon 5th gen (HD Graphics 620). Adding "nomodeset" there also makes things work. An older x220 with Intel HD Graphics 3000 works just fine. For completeness: the x260 also breaks on i386 mate installation without speech. Testing with i386 and lxqt on the x260: the screen also goes black at X startup unless we add "nomodeset". Both systems (x260 and X1 Carbon 5th) work fine when installed as amd64 systems. This is a problem with the i915 driver on i386 only. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com Getting a SCSI chain working is perfectly simple if you remember that there must be exactly three terminations: one on one end of the cable, one on the far end, and the goat, terminated over the SCSI chain with a silver-handled knife whilst burning *black* candles. --- Anthony DeBoer
