Please note this bug is specific to the Live CD. It appears some people are posting bugs about installed versions of Edgy. A signature of this bug is you can't access the Live Desktop on boot that would allow you to install and you can't access console in order to change drivers.
If you are experiencing the same bug as described in the initial bug report and have a workaround that allows you to change the driver or access console, please post steps describing how to do this for others to try. If you can easily access console with ctrl+alt+F1-F6 when the screen goes black, you are likely experiencing a different bug. -- [edgy][regression][rv280] black screen and full freeze when X starts https://launchpad.net/bugs/67487 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
