I have an intel 82845G/GL intergrated graphics board with a 2.6 p4 celeron. I had the similar black screen with only the cursor working. This is on both the live cd and a full install. The problem for me was compiz. I installed using ubiquity as that loaded fine. Then on reboot, I hit esc on the grub menu, booted the safe mode option. It asks 4 options, one of them is terminal. When at terminal, I entered "sudo apt- get remove compiz compiz-core" without the quotes to get it to remove compiz. Upon reboot I am able to log in fine.
