Question: Do you do a bios-based or an EFI-based boot on grub2.
I for mayself try to get working a grub2-efi on a MacBoot Pro with a
nVidia graphic adapter. Because I don't got the graphical login
screen, I have added the entry ' 3' to the kernel parameters and
restart the system.
The result was, that I have got a graphical boot and got the console
based login. When I tried to start X on this system, the start iüp
process of the nVidia driver fails. The /var/log/Xorg.0.log file
told be, that the driver wants to connect to VT number 7 which
seems not to exist after a EFI-based boot.
Perhaps anyone can tell me, how I can configure the driver to use
VT number 0 or VT number 1 to connect.
