Does anyone have a clue ?
I have a Dell XPS 17-L702X with NVIDIA GT555M etc..
I tried debian on it, each time I finally get a pink then black screen after a few minutes of use. I tried multiple nvidia drivers, but I still have the same problem.
Debian doesn't seem to be compatible with this hardware..
