Hello everyone. I have installed the Slitaz 4.0 on my desktop and I'm having problems on booting. When I boot the PC without any grub adjustments, my monitor goes to a 'non signal' mode (Yes, I already installed the ATI drivers via Hardware and Drivers Detection) and the Silatz doesn't starts. When I boot the PC with the nomodeset command on the grub, everything seems to be fine. So I'd like some help in: installing another driver for my video card or editing the /boot/grub/menu.lst to make the nomodeset command permanent. My video card is a Radeon 9250.

PS: Sorry for my english, I'm from Brazil...

Simply add 'nomodeset' to the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst like below...

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.37-slitaz root=/dev/sdc1 lang=en_US kmap=us nomodeset

Yeah, I know where to add the ´nomodeset´, but I can´t figure out how do I do. I opened the menu.lst archive on the text editor and tried to add the command at the same place you said, but the text editor can´t save it! [noob mode = on] Do I have to open the menu.lst via terminal? How do I do that? [noob mode = off]
Thanks!

chemsilva, you have to open menu.lst as root. Then you can save it.
