Apologies if this is a double post, my first one doesn't appear to have made it to the forum.
I am trying to install Qubes on a Thinkpad T410 which is supported by the HCL but:
With the top image is my attempt at booting the graphical installer. I'm pretty sure this is just an incorrectly set graphics mode, but so far my attempts to set it with gfxpayload= or vga= have been unsuccessful.
The second image is what happens if I attempt to install in VGA graphics mode. After setting all my options, the installer croaks.
What can I do to get a successful installation?
on my thinkpad, didnt have to do the 2nd part with the mouse settings. yours is newer, so you probably wont have to either.
That got me going. Thank you. :)
As a follow up to this:
When I try to boot the newly installed OS all I get is a blinking cursor. I don't believe this is a UEFI bios problem, but I am going to attempt to reinstall with different installation media in case there was an issue there.

Have you tried to just put your disk encryption password in at that point and hit enter? With some GPUs and driver combinations it has happened in the past, that the Luks password prompt just doesn't show properly.
One could call this an additional security feature. ;-)

P.S.: Is there an easy way to set my capslock as control in all my VM's? It's driving me a bit nuts :)While I am still going to try and troubleshoot this issue on my own if anyone has any insight it would be appreciated.With vt-d off, my system works fine, however I would like to enable vt-d. So, I do the steps outlined [https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/thinkpad_x201/] thus for iommu=no-gfx but when I enable vt-d the display is still garbled.Hi,Just a quick update, I was able to get qubes installed with the help of some different media (my original media was faulty) and I am up and running. I do have one question though:

I do have one question though:I fixed the capslock. apparently setting it in dom0 startup does the busines, dunno why i thought it should be per-vm, but apparently i need more sleep :)
