Blank screen at boot.
Hi all,
I have a curious one here. I have just installed Ubuntu on a machine that has an ATI Radeon 3450 video card installed. If I boot the machine into recovery mode and then select 'normal boot' at the pause I get to a fully functional desktop that is using the fglrx driver. Compiz is happy and my graphics look great. If I boot normally and just let the machine do its own thing I get just past the 'select' screen and the machine stops. There is no further disk activity and the monitor goes into standby mode. I can't see anything relevant in any of the log files. Does anyone have any ideas 'cos I've run out of ideas! Thanks. |
...I managed to answer my own question.
The issue is that of the Ubuntu splash screen. I removed the 'splash' switch from Grub's menu.lst and everything works just fine. I guess that the splash screen uses a resolution that my monitor doesn't like and that I could also specify a VGA= value but for now I'm happy :-) Thanks for those who looked. |
