    Xorg install fails w/ GTX660

    i7 3930k
    a single GTX 660 w/ 2GB
    256GB SSD

    I got the "no screens found" error. Kali kept trying to boot so I saw the message several times. I didn't write down the codes, but they were the same each time Xorg tried finding a screen.

    What causes this, and is there a way to fix it?
    Something like using a different display driver in the ISO?
    Thanks.

    Hi there,

    You will need to post error codes and logs for any useful answers.

    Can you boot into recovery? Or does ctrl + alt + f1 give you terminal?
    If neither of those work, boot into live mode and retrieve the /var/log/xorg log files and post them

    Thanks.

    Fatal server error
    Caught signal 11(seg fault) server aborting
    (debconf:1978) Gtk-WARNING cannot open display: :0

    This message lasted a full second or so then the screen blanked rapidly,
    showing the same message but with a different debconf error (debconf:xxxx) each time.
    This lasted for a few minutes.

    I can open a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F2. F1 is the problem screen.
    How can I retrieve the xorg log from the install USB (w/o encrypted persistence)?
