Hehe, it's true that there's been no activity, so no surprise the problem is still there!
Was hoping someone would tell me what more information could be provided, or maybe suggest a solution.
I'd love to try out the latest development release of Ubuntu, so I downloaded the live CD for Natty alpha 1. But when I boot from it, it shows the initial boot screen briefly, then the screen goes completely black, and the boot process seems to stop. So, if anything, the situation seems much worse than with Ubuntu 10.10 :(

I don't mind testing an upstream kernel, but I need more specific instructions than what is given at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds?action=show&redirect=KernelMainlineBuilds
This is new ground to me, so I need to be told specifically which debs to download and install.

Can anybody comment about whether this is SUPPOSED to work? E.g. see the nvidia link i provided. If it's not supposed to work, it's a waste of time testing out different kernels.

Should i run the apport-collect command on my current system? Or is it only valuable after I get a working natty version?
