Comment 62 for bug 431812

Hi, I have just upgrade my Jaunty to Karmic Koala, and get a completely black screen after boot.

I have tried adding "i915.modeset=0" (without the quotes) to the end of the line in grub that starts with "kernel", and ending with "splash", and then pressing enter, followed by "b". The computer starts booting, but I end up with a black screen again.

Is there any way to fix this? I've read that I can't revert to Jaunty either, but I would really like to use my system again!

Thanks very much for you help!
