Use environment, automatically logout back to login screen. After netinstall instead in order to install the system. Even with the up-to-date kernel and drivers from the official repository, the login screen would not appear after the installation. Just it shows only a black screen. screen at startup. It seems the system would not failed to switch to VESA driver automatically. Use Must use another display card (Intel/AMD) to install boot the system and upgrade to a newer kernel (3.10.5-gnu) (3.10.7-gnu) and nouveau driver (1.0.9) 1.0.9 in order to make it work. gNewSense 3.0 LiveDVD worked but it was using VESA driver.
