OK so I did the nomodeset and still nothing. Obviously there is a
problem with the video and nothing else but I can't find a driver for
the screen I have. It is an HP w2007 model. It says it has intel hd
graphics on the mother board. Is there something else I can try?

I have an acer aspire xc-704g 64 bit machine. I installed debian 8.5
on it and it went through the whole install with no problems once I
had the rtl driver on a separate usb drive. So I booted it up and it
went through the whole process to the final screen and all I get is
the - symbol in the upper left hand corner and a dark screen. Nothing
after that it just freezes. I keep getting the message that the i8042
controller not found. What the hell did I do know. I am so
frustrated with this machine and have never had this type of trouble
before. When I looked it all up on the net it talked about a PS2
keyboard but I am using the keyboard that came with the machine and it
is a USB but I do have a USB port plugged into the USB to add
additional ports as this machine only has two ports on the back and I
need four. Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated.
