Hi Camaleón, Yes, computer is alive and doing well - just X is not.I added "nomodeset" to the kernel command line in "grub" at boot time but still no video.
"dmesg" says it was passed, but didn't see anything in the "Xorg.0.logs"Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686 root=UUID=dcbafd16-7eee-494c-b9b4-d3f982caae7d ro nomodeset
I copied the logs generated from a "no modified" boot and logs generated with "nomodeset" added. I check the following logs looking for a clue but none spotted. The ones taken at 110714th_091713 were unmodifed boot while the ones at 110714th_094114 were with the "nomodeset". Are you interested in looking at any of them since some are long?
110714th_091713_dmesg 110714th_091715_messages 110714th_091719_Xorg.0.log 110714th_091720_debug 110714th_092208_syslog 110714th_094108_dmesg 110714th_094109_messages 110714th_094114_debug 110714th_094114_kern.log 110714th_094114_Xorg.0.log 110714th_094118_syslog 110714th_094154_wtmp The first couple lines fromhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_Mode_Setting tells me I'm dealing with a new feature, different from that used in "etch". Looking at the archives, others are having problems but I have not seen a successful resolve.
Have any other ideals? Ed Camaleón wrote:

The problem did not exist with "etch" but did with "lenny" and appears to have continued on with "squeeze". There may be some clues in the "etch" distribution as how to solve this one - or maybe not.(...) Okay, thanks for the logs. I don't see nothing wrong at Xorg logs nor in dmesg, beyond these lines: *** [ 15.624273] [drm:edid_is_valid] *ERROR* EDID checksum is invalid, remainder is 3 [ 15.624280] [drm:edid_is_valid] *ERROR* Raw EDID: *** But I don't think they're relevant enough to prevent the video signal output.I would fisrt try by disabling KMS by passing "nomodeset" at kernel boot line.Greetings,
