Comment (by rudolfc):
Hi there,
This is actually not a new bug: it exists 'for ages' already. Also seen
when using Matrox and n
Vidia cards, especially older ones. The problem is always the highest
supported mode or colordepth or so if using vesa mode.
While using the nvidia driver for instance, you will mostly only encounter
the black screen during boot, and then the screen comes alive again after
the dedicated driver kicks in. (Not so for vesa mode though).
Sometimes the wrong set mode during boot messes up the card's settings in
such a way that even the nVidia driver is not able to restore the card to
life.
I'll try to hunt down the bug as I reported it which describes this same
problem.
Bye!
Rudolf.
