That's normal because with v6.9 and v6.10 no driver is loaded for a Matrox GPU, it uses the sock VGA driver, one was added for 6.11 since the stock VGA driver stopped working with the GUI, and like mentioned looks like the driver works for everyone with a Matrox GPU except you, not sure why or if anything can be done to fix it since it's already using the correct driver, and it also doesn't work without it.
I'm definitely not the only T140 user here, but I haven't heard from others. I'm gonna try a different monitor tomorrow, that Unraid 6.9.2 displayed much better on for some reason (but only with certain VGA cables). I'm moving and its power supply is packed so I ordered a same-day delivery PSU for it to test today. I borrowed this monitor from my partner for the upgrade, but it DOES get video on 6.9.2.
Just to be sure, should I be putting that line in the box you showed, or the one under it for GUI?Is that definitely blocking the right driver for the chipset showin in the screenshot I posted above?
I really appreciate your help, I just really need to use Unraid for hopefully a few more years on this machine! I need to upgrade my cache and 6.9.2 has a bug with doing that! Currently on this machine, 6.9.2 = cache upgrade bug, 6.10.x = no network, 6.11.3 = no video. I feel like I'm not having very good luck lol. -

One thing you can try is to prevent the driver form loading, just in case with your server it causes issues instead of helping, click on the flash drive and add the below to sysçinux.cfg:
That didn't change anything. I also tried adding it in the same place in the GUI box below that one since that's the issue, and I thought maybe it wasn't running that line since I was booting to GUI, but that didn't change anything either. I reverted to my backup of 6.9.2, GUI came back, and then I upgraded again before attempting the above just to be sure I had a clean upgrade. Nothing I tried gave me a GUI over VGA again on the current version.I have always noticed on 6.9.2 that Unraid runs very large by default on my 1080p monitor, and I have to scroll left/right to see everything, or zoom out the browser. Were there any changes in resolution since 6.9.2? This is the info I can find on the server I'm using:
I am using a very vanilla install. Anything else I can try/provide? I do appreciate the assistance very much! -
I just got around to updating my Dell T140, to 6.11.3 and am having the same issue. I was on 6.9.2 before, as I had network interface issues last time on 6.10.x and rolled back and waited a bit. Network is great, can get to gui there. I see all the boot stuff but it goes blank when it would show the GUI on local VGA.
I wasn't sure if I should make a new thread or not since this is marked solved but describes my issue exactly.
Updating to note that it uses Matrox video according to Dell's specs.
Diagnostics attached. Please help! Thanks!
No GUI loaded after update to 6.11.0 from 6.10.3

Just one last post to confirm it wasn't monitor related. Bought a new PSU for the monitor I normally use cause it is packed up for moving somewhere. Same results though. I expected that, but my older monitor displayed it a little better. In 6.9.2 the VGA cable I use makes a difference as to whether it displayed cleanly, or zoomed in. I'm using a cable that displayed better at that point, I'm guessing some cables don't have a pin to communicate resolution etc.
Weird that other T140 users aren't complaining so far. I guess I primarily use it headless and can still get to the terminal, so if network dies, I can still get to stuff. I'll just have to search/ask in the forums as I'm used to the GUI! Hopefully that won't be an issue!
If I find a solution I'll let you know. This server doesn't support added GPUs as the primary screen or I'd just add one.
If there's any chance it is a different driver than the one listed above being loaded for my card, let me know, but I'm guessing you were able to see in the diagnostics. Something worked in 6.9.x and at least the first release of 6.10.x (only one I tried) that changed for my graphics in any case!
