However my inexperience with working with Ubuntu prevented me from filing a proper bug report. Basically, what's happening is, the system starts to boot up, then the screen goes black. The computer is still running and booting normally, however, the back light for the display does not come on. This was confirmed by shining a light into the screen and seeing the Ubuntu desktop. I performed a fresh installation of Maverick Meerkat and then did an upgrade to Natty Narwhal. The same problem. However, when booted with a previous Linux kernel version, there is no problem. This leads me to believe the problem is with the kernel, and not Xorg as the back light fails to power on at kernel boot. This bug is also effecting the current Oneiric Ocelot build which is Alpha 3. This bug report pertains to Oneiric Ocelot.
