[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Tobias,
I have tried both of those options, new current image and appending radeon on the kernel load line, but to no avail.
It never reaches login on tty1, but I can switch to tty2 and update guix and run commands.
The graphics card I have is an AMD/ATI Radeon HD 7800
Can the nouveau driver be installed and then tweak the X config file to use and load the nouveau, (if that is the one I need),driver?

Douglas
