Re: UL30JT + restricted drivers = black screen

 

Hmm, just installed again.
And when using rerstricted drivers I got a black screen again, even
with SATA on IDE.
However, changing the video thing to other instead of Windows 7/Vista
resulted in a very dark screen.
But it booted fine! Now I found out that when I turned the backlight
DOWN the screen actually turned on again!
So now it works fine, but only after turning down the brightness.
Now going to fix the webcam :)

Cheers,

Willem
