Installing OpenMandriva 2013 Beta on a laptop with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 (in my case Sony Vaio VGN-FW46M)

You have a  laptop with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 (in my case Sony Vaio VGN-FW46M) and your OpenMandriva 2013 Beta does not show a screen after installation and booting?

I wrote about this issue last year already but it’s a bit different with this new release.

Here is what you have got to do:

Select in grub boot menu that you want to edit the entry.

then you add the following line in the menu entry:

“vga=844 nomodeset“
