Also confirmed by me, did a clean new install of Ubuntu 7.0.4 Feisty
Fawn on an AMD x64 with a NVidia 8600 GTS (working with drivers from
nvidia) and i also have this 'black screen of almost dead' bug.

I tried to edit the usplash config file found in /etc/usplash.conf to
correct the resolution to 1280x1024, after that there's still a black
screen. What i noticed is that when i boot from the installation CD and
set VGA (F4) to 1280x1024 32bit colour (not tested with 16bit colour)
and then it does work! The usplash screen shows up with a resolution of
640x480 in the upper left corner of my screen so i guess that the bug is
that it doesn't read / apply the correct resolution given in the
/etc/usplash.conf file.

I hope this helped a bit ...
