Bug Description
When I boot up from the ubuntu 10.04 alpha 3 live cd the screen goes blank after clicking "try ubuntu without installing". This also happens when I try to boot after installing. I believe this has something to do with the switch to nouveau as the default video driver for nvidia chips because I have the same problem when trying to boot Fedora, which uses nouveau by default as well. Booting 9.10 and earlier causes no problems except I have to adjust the screen resolution each time I boot up. I have a nvidia Geforce 6200 video card and am using a 2003 HP desktop attached to a 42'' LCD monitor (TV really).
