[18:18] <semslie> Hi, I have a problem that may very well not be ubuntu-related, but as I first experienced the problem after installing Intrepid beta-1, I thought I'd ask here first.
[18:19] <semslie> when I boot up my screen stays black - doesn't display a single thing, right up until the point where the OS (windows or ubuntu) has reached the login screen, which possible works because it is changing the graphics mode?
[18:20] <semslie> can anyone think of a reason why the screen would remain black during boot, but work when the gui loads up?
[18:25] <Burgundavia> semslie: no idea off the top of my head
[18:25] <Burgundavia> but it might be a bios issue
[18:26] <Burgundavia> in Ubuntu, the screen would be coming live when X starts up, by the sounds of it
[18:29] <semslie> Burgundavia: I think you are probably right. I may try to flash the bios as a last resort.
