Why Does Foresight Linux Display a Black Screen After The Installation?

After installing Foresight Linux, the system cannot display the logon screen.Instead of the logon screen, a black screen is displayed.

In either case, we are not able to get to the familiar logon screen let alone get intothe desktop. What has, most likely, happened is that the incorrect video driver hasbeen installed and loaded in the xorg.conf file, for this installation.

What we need to do is manually logon into Foresight Linux via a terminal window, by pressing the Alt + Tab + F2 key combination. At the login prompt type your username and press Enter. In this case theusername is “User”. After typing the username, type your password.This will grant you access to the OS in terminal mode.

We need to edit the actual video hardware. Type the following,

“sudo  nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf” less the quotes and then your password to open up the file. After typing the above command, we get an xorg.conf file displayed in the nano text editor.

The default video driver entry in the xorg.conf file is “vesa”. Though in most instances, “vesa” will work, it does not in our case. Our system, the K45, uses the Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950. As a result, we need to change the driver entry in xorg.conf to reflect this fact. To do so, we need to change “vesa” to “intel”.

Once this is done, we need to Save the file and Quit the editor. The quickest way to accomplish this is by pressing Control + X. The system will respond asking if you wish to “Save modified buffer” before it quits. Type yes, press Enter and you’re done. The following image demonstrates the above sequence.

Once the above is done, you’ll have access to your logon screen, once again.

Why is there an error to play media content with Linux Foresight out-of-the-box?

Mostly, user needs to download some “codec” patches. Because of legal issue, computer maker should not include these “codec” in pre-installed system. To download the “codec”, please click on  Accessories – Terminal – press enter. Once the Terminal is opened, type “sudo conary update group-codecs”. Next, please provide your system username and password. (Internet access is required) Next, it should automatically update the “codec” patches. Accept to continue if prompted. Or, type “sudo conary update all” to download patches that also support variety of music formats.

Please see attachment for graphical instruction.

How do I get Linux drivers for my XPC?

Currently, Shuttle provides Linux support for some XPCs by including Linux driver CD along with the systems. However, not all XPCs and motherboards come with a Linux driver CD. Since Linux is an “open source” operating system; most drivers are written/provided by 3rd parties. We strongly encourage our users to search the Internet or visit the chipset vendors’ web sites for any new available drivers.

As we continue our efforts to have every latest models tested for Linux compatibility; please keep in mind that not all features/functions/drivers are supported at this time. Thank you for your understanding as we continue to push for better Linux implementation and support in the future.
