Workaround: getting to console: OK. I tried that. (suggestion of removing splash from boot line.) GDM monitor died, but it did let me get into consoles on the other x-windows, which didn't work with splash in the line. I checked out the xorg.conf, and it set the setting under device that normally reads driver "fglrx" (for ati proprietary on my comp) said "ati". I have never seen/had a working x with "ati" listed under driver. (Is this the driver for non proprietary?) That's probably the problem. Anyhow, it seemed ot work by changing it back to a non-hardware driver. What I don't understand is why everyone I know with an Intel doesn't have this problem and everyone I know with an AMD does.
Anyhow, that should allow people to work around and do a custom xorg.conf. ** Description changed: + Workaround: getting to console: + OK. I tried that.

Result: Screen Goes Black after boot phase, right as it enters the Desktop phase. Must power off to remedy. Steps to Reproduce: 1) boot x386 CD and DVD (I've tested both) 2) choose either default Start/Install or Safe Graphics Start/Install 3) 6.10 boots and goes along without issue with the new Ubuntu boot splash. 4) It finishes the boot process, then goes to the standard momentary black screen with the white cursor in the upper-left corner. 5) Then, the screen goes black. Using F4 VGA options doesn't solve the issue. note: a signature of this particular bug is that selecting ctrl+alt+F1 through F6 does NOT bring up console either before or after you get a black screen. As a result, commands to change drivers as a workaround will not work with this bug, increasing its severity.
