Slitaz 4.00 RC3 : Black screen on Asus EeeBox EB1501 (nvidia Ion)

I want to install Slitaz 4.00 RC3 on my EeeBox EB1501 : at the end of the boot, screen becomes black...

After a CTRL+Alt+TAB I can seemessage : "error setting MTRR" , etc...

What's the problem ?

When I replace "nv" by "vesa" in the device.conf I can start X but without mouse...

Any idea will welcome...

Found in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log :

Hi,

There is a huge bug in the way we configure Xorg, configs files are usually empty. We are struggling on the list to fix that. I did a ISO this mornig if you could try it:

http://people.slitaz.org/~pankso/iso/slitaz-rolling-core.iso

The other way to fix empty Xorg config files is to preselect you language at boot ot use the boot options: lang= and kmap=. This will skip the language/keyboerd gui box and avoid Xorg behing started twice.

Thanks  Christophe, but unfortunately, no success for me with the new iso and even with the boot options...

Hope you will found this bug rapidly.

Hello,

In fact, the problem seems to come from the keyboard (?)
