[SOLVED] Problem with video on Lenovo Ideapad

Post by edwin.agudelo » 2016/08/25 18:51:06

Good day.

Recently buy an lenovo laptop (110 Ideapad 14IBR). Install (with option "Troubleshooting" and install in basic graphical mode) Centos 7, but when start the first time, get the fail screen. Then, I try to start the x server (startx) get the error: FBIOBLANK invalid argument.

This laptop have an Intel HD graphics 400 and a Intel Celeron N3060; googling , I concluded that is a fail in the driver, but don’t know how resolve. Please help me.

Best regards.

Hello.

After several hours wasted googling, I found a Solution. I share for others with the same problem(maybe same stupid, jejejeje)

First, add the "elrepo-kernel" repository, then install the kernel (4.7.2-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64). After, boot with this version, but remove "nomodeset" from command line.

With this steps I solve my problem.

Thanks to all.

I had the same problem on my Lenovo ideapad. Removing "nomodset" from kernel parameters helps me on CentOS 7 without updating the kernel.
First of all, I checked it on one time boot:
1) Press "e" during grub2 prompt
2) Remove "nomodset"
3) Press Ctrl-X for boot.
When I saw it works, I fix this:
1) I remove nomodset from /etc/default/grub
2) sudo grub2-mkconfig > /etc/grub2.cfg
3) sudo grub2-mkconfig > /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
