Was there no line showing the kernel module for it?
Do you mean like in the similar material in the post by
sheldonisaac? No, there was nothing else. I posted everything that was there.

No, sorry, that does not work. The
only way that I am able to successfully reach the desktop is to manually select the
Versa driver (resulting in a resolution of 1024x768). See below for more details.
The following alternative methods all fail to work:
(A) Allow the computer to boot up without any intervention on my part.
(B) Boot up using
pfix=ram,nox, run
xorgwizard, select
Probe, and then choose
any of the available options.
(C) Proceed as for method
(B), but select
Choose instead of
Probe in Xorgwizard, then select any specific driver, and subsequently continue from
Probe again.
All of the above methods ultimately result in a black screen,
and then the computer just hangs and will do nothing else. The only was to get out of it is to kill the power and start again. I understand that you require test results
after the Black Screen has occurred, but the problem is that once I reach the black screen, nothing else is possible.

Here, in detail, is the only method that succeeds:
1. Boot the computer using the boot parameter
pfix=ram,nox. (I don't know if
"ram" here is strictly necessary, but I have other Lucid Frugal installations on the Hard-Drive, so I use it just in case.)
2. Keyboard choice (choose default US keyboard, then click OK).
3. At the command prompt, type
xorgwizard, then press Enter. (For some reason, step 3 then needs to be repeated before anything happens.)
4.
Xorgwizard opens.
5. Choose
Versa. (Selecting
Probe or
Choose eventually lead to the Black Screen.)
6. Choose a
Monitor type.
7. Choose a
Video mode.
8.
OK (to apply the selected settings).
9. Back at the command prompt again, type
xwin (press Enter)
This the takes me to the Desktop, with a display resolution of 1024x768.
Back in Steps 6 & 7, choosing a lower resolution applies the chosen resolution, whereas choosing any higher resolution (such as the correct 1366x768) just defaults back to 1024x768.

So, given that I can do nothing more once I am at the Black Screen, do you still want me to provide you with a
pdiag file after successfully booting up using the described
Versa method, or is that of no use to you?
Edit:rerwin also wrote:bootup to the black screen, entering xorgwizard, choosing i915, testing it and starting xwin
As I have already explained, this is not possible, but you say to choose the
i915 driver. I have just noticed that there is no i915 on the list. Does that have any bearing on why things are not working?
