Having installed a nightly natively on my Acer Aspire 1692 (with Radeon
Mobility X700 (PCIE))
I get the frequently mentioned black screen after the boot logo.
Thus, I am constantly swithing to Vesa mode during boot using space-
bar, etc...
Is there a config file which sets the Vesa mode automatically.
Another question is, can I use other resolutions than the listed ones
in boot config screen?
My display is 1280x800 sized.
I have a machine using the "Intel GMA950 Graphics" where I see the black screen every time. I have been able to fix this by removing the "intel_extreme" link in the boot/system/add-ons/kernel/drivers/dev/graphics/ directory. This seems to allow me to boot and run as normal. 


This worked for me!
I removed the radeon link and could boot into 1024x768.
Unfortunately the setting in the vesa file "mode 1280 800 32" didn't work.
However, one annoyance less is still good!
I keep meaning to follow-up on this to figure out why it's happening but other stuff keeps cropping up. I'm not sure if this is your exact issue. I hope it helps, I know the frustration well. 

More later,
Jack
