Hello guys. After installing Jessie and after booting, I don't get any
display.
In fact I tried to install Jessie twice trying different things.

The first time I installed Jessie, I chose a desktop environment(XFCE).
After installing and booting, I got a distorted image and everything
blocked I could neither type anything to log in nor move the cursor.

So I decided to re-install Jessie. This time I did not choose any desktop
environment. I wanted to see if I can atleast get access to the console.
However this time after installing and booting, I got a totally black
screen.

My video card is a PCI ATI Rage 128 32 MB. See full specification on the
link below:

However I don't think there is a problem with the video card as before
installing Jessie I was using Debian Wheezy and I was able to get a display
with Wheezy by inserting 'nomodeset' in the GRUB. And I also have windows 7
installed on the same pc and it is working properly.

However I do think the problem is caused by missing drivers for the video
card. But the problem is that I am not getting access to the console so
that I can install the required drivers.

I am only getting access to the Grub. Is there a way I can get access to
the console by editing and modifying the grub??

With Kind regards,
Dwijesh
