Mr-Protocol Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 When your system boots, edit the boot and add the option nomodeset and then boot. After that you should be able to address your driver issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) When your system boots, edit the boot and add the option nomodeset and then boot. After that you should be able to address your driver issue.If using grub and not set for single sign on directly to a command prompt or already logged in. Might need to load a live disc and edit the boot config to add it depending on how you set it up. ATI has a DRM issue with some cards that still seems to be an issue even with Kali, which was present in BT4 through 5. When in doubt though, hit their official documentation site docs.kali.org Edited April 12, 2013 by digip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
