I finally got graphics with a live boot Ubuntu 13.10 but only in safe
graphics mode. Ubuntu reported running x11 and for graphics it says
'software rendering' inxi wasn't installed; I tried installing but it
failed. So much for ubuntu.
correction: live boot was ubuntu 23.10 and the failed install was an
attempt to install inxi during that live boot, 'sudo apt update' got 404
not found, '/etc/apt/sources.list appeared original and I didn't pursue
it farther. It had my monitor at 800x600 resolution.
I tried to switch consoles using ctrl+alt+F1 ~ ctrl+alt+F9. no go
cat /etc/debian_version
12.9
re-installed twice in case the first one was bum
I should get another monitor cord to try. M700 pc has only two
display-ports. My monitor has vga and hdmi. I'm using dp to vga
converter because that's the only bits I have laying around that fit.
Thing is, bios and grub have graphics.
