Comment 6 for bug 162757

I have a satellite 1805-253 (very similar, trident cyberbladei1 850Mhz piii, etc) I have the exact same results. The system is actually working minus the display, because I can go into reboot by CTRL-ALT-DEL then enter. I cannot switch to a console with CTL-ALT-F1 - 6. I had the same results from the testing net-install disc for debian. (lenny) debian etch worked fine as did 7.04. init level 1 works fine. if you want any log outputs, I can post them.
I have 7.10 on my desktop and I am very impressed.
