Hello everyone,

I'm trying to install LXLE on a ACER travelmate 3201XCI.
It is a pentium M715 with 512Mo ram and radeon 9700 mobility.
So when laughing the live DVD it load to the desktop but in few second it goes to black screen... when selecting install it also freeze and go black screen :(
I tried from DVD and USB same thing.
The computer is Ok it run windows seven (very slowly but without bug).

Any help is welcome I realy like LXLE and I think it is one of the best linux for this old computer.

Thanks in advance.

regards.

1st: Did you check the iso checksum?

2nd: This can happen with some graphics cards, not to worry. One of these thread links should provide a solution for you:

I did'nt look at the checksum, but I succesfully install with the same ISO in virtual box and on another computer. I will check it anyway.
Thank you for the link I will take a look and try.

I tried few things with the links you give me, it was ok when adding " acpi=off " :)
Now I have the same problem with the installation on the hard drive, but I will try to add the same command and see about drivers.
Thank you for your reply ;)

Edit:
So I manage to edit the grub option with the help of the following links, hope it will help if someone has the same issue ;)
