Comment 16 for bug 408432

Hi, I hope the move went well.
I tried all three kernels you built.
I am not sure which logs to look at, but here's what I did:
1. boot up with one of the kernels
2. log in (in gnome)
3. Go to System->Preferences->Display
and then all I see is a black screen with half of the cursor to the far
right. Everything freezes (keyboard and mouse) and I have to shutdown the
computer by cutting the power.

Please let me know which logs to look at. Also, I didn't understand the
steps to subscribe to the upsteram bug report (I thought I was)

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
