I had the same problem on a IBM Thinkpad T43 (Model 2668Y3U) with an ATI Radeon Mobility X300 with a fresh install of Gutsy (desktop version).
I've solved this issue using bluwShark's procedure: 1) Changed the resolution in /etc/usplash.conf to 1024x768 2) sudo update-initramfs -u -k `uname -r` I've to mention that, when usplash had problems, boot process took 180sec. since usplash monopolized all CPU resources (check attached image). ** Attachment added: "gutsy-20071020-2.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10076191/gutsy-20071020-2.png -- Black screen, and bad usplash.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150930 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
