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 ... -- [Feisty] Black screen after starting with usplash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84169 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
