Comment 75 for bug 86666

The same thing occurs to me. After selecting what I want to start in GRUB, i get a sign on my screen saying "No signal detected". I don't get any LED's on my keyboard blinking though...

Starting in recovery mode and then startx works fine. Just adding a vga=791 or vga=794 gets me a splsh screen, but then it hangs when it's done and is supposed to show the login-screen. If I remove the splash setting and the VGA setting, then it works fine, but if remove splash from the command line but keeps the VGA= setting, then it will hang again after when it's done loading and is about to show the login screen.

The problem seems to be in usplash, because it works for everyone when the splash command is removed from the bootup-line. And at least for some other people it still hangs with the vga=-setting. But for me it also hangs when not using splash, but using the VGA=-setting (the text get's smaller but hangs when loading is done, and screen shows no signal message), so maybe it isn't a bug in usplash after all?

Notable is also that, when I inactivate the splash setting, I get the same kind of error when trying to log out from my account ( as mentioned by some people earlier)...

As almost everybody else I use an AMD 64 with the amd64-version of ubuntu, a x850XT from ATI (using fglrx driver) and version 7.04 BTW.

Tell me if you'd like some log of any kind from me.
