I`ve tried every solution offered so far, with no luck. But I found a post on kubuntuforums that solved my problem. BTW. I have a Samsung Syncmaster 757 NF, Geforce 8500 GT, Athlon 64-bit X2 4400, 1 GB RAM...
Here is the solution I`ve found: (before I did what follows, I used StartupManager to set the boot-splash resolution to 1280x1024 16-bit) edit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules add the following * vga16fb * fbcon * vesafb edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer comment out the following (prefix with #) * blacklist vesafb * blacklist vga16fb last but not least, run the following in a terminal * sudo update-initramfs -u Finally, it works...
