I have this problem too.
Specs:
Acer Ferrari 4005 Turion 64 2ghz 1gigRAM x700mobility radeon
Scree res 1650x1080
Starts up, see loading screen, then everything dies, though I hear sound.

Does this for safe mode and regular mode.

Suspect that specifying a custom boot resolution isn't working properly.
I saw on the forums that there is some sort of xorg.conf overide trying to set resolution to 1080x1080, or something?
