Hi there,

I'm installing Salckware64-14.0 on a friend's laptop, Acer Inspire 5741,
get a blank screen on reboot after install.

Screen blanks and backlight turns off about the time screen to switch to
Intel DRM mode.  If I enable framebuffer I get four penguins up to the
point where drm switching happens.  I'm terribly confused at the moment
because I've brought up three slack-14.0 boxen in the last week.

Wondering what boot line options might get this thing going?

Thanks,
Grant.
