No, it doesn't. When I ran XFdrake the test did display colours,
though at a resolution I wouldn't want to work with :-) However, on
reboot I still have a backlit black screen.
I'm sure you are on the right track. It's not radeon, though, it's
Intel 810 and later. I see that listed in XFdrake, but if I try to
use it I'm told that there are no screens. Not sure what that means,
though.
When booting into rescue, I saw several items listed as "Intel
Corporation:NM10/ICH7 Family" which sounds right to me.
So - I need Intel drivers (and firmware). Can I use the same rescue
processes to get the Internet working so that I can download them?
Odd, though, that even VESA didn't work.
