Just tried the latest build from svn and although the desktop seems to show the screen begins to build up artifacts, I cant see the mouse cursor but when I click the right click context on the desktop I see that it says switch to 640 x 480 , 4. Yes you read that correctly '4' Smiling
Tested on my laptop intel centrino duo x86 with mobility x1400 and desktop amd x2 64bit with nvidia 7600gs with the same results on both under vga mode.

I am also working on the mouse cursor for the VGA driver

Actually, I already have the code to display the cursor for the VGA driver but it's too buggy to be commited. So, be patient until I fix it.

The '4' is the number of bits used for colors. So, yes it's really 16 colors (2^4).

Tip: Did you know that you can type Alt+F11 to leave the GUI and got back to console mode (if you booted jnode in console mode) ?

some bug fixed in VGA driver

Is you display fully black ? If that's the case, then you should try again with the latest version from svn : I've fixed the VGA driver.
But we warned you will see a desktop with only 16 colors and there are still some unimplemented/bugged things in the VGA driver. I'm working on it.

Further problem description needed

Could you supply us with a bit additional informations?

Which hardware (virtual or real), which graphics card.

Also please try to use FBTest, which is a simply tool to test the graphics driver. If you don't see anything there either try to switch to the debug console (alt+f6) and have a look for graphics related debug output.

And how long did you wait until you gave up? Did you try to move the mouse on the blank screen?
