Running under HyperV
Details
You are reading version 017 of this page. The current version can be found here.
When running the GoboLinux 016.01 live ISO through Hyper-V, you will notice that
startx does not start correctly by default. You can fix this by adding a
kernel boot parameter and creating an Xorg configuration file.
Edit /System/Kernel/Boot/grub/grub.cfg and find the kernel boot line. Change
video=vesafb:off to video=hyperv_fb:1024x768 and save it. You may wish to
try this part in advance first, without saving it; in that case, press e at
the Grub menu, make this same edit, and press Ctrl-X to boot once only with
the new command line.
Run X -configure. It will generate a file xorg.conf.new. Edit this file, and
change vesa to fbdev. Move the file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Reboot. startx will now work normally.
