Certainly works for me, thanks a lot. But it is my opinion that a warning message should be displayed when installing/upgrading, I've googled the first time the screen went blank, after that I hope that after a couple of days the problem would be fixed (unstable attitude ;-) ) but after that the machine just stood idle here until this post. So I think that many other users that are confronted to this problem won't find a quick solution either.
