Bug Description
On this test version of Kubuntu Intrepid, my monitor goes black after about 30 seconds. Normally I would expect the usual keyboard selection etc. to appear, but the last video I get is the boot menu itself. The monitor indicates no signal.
This happens whether I use the "install" or "live CD" options, and regardless of whether I choose the "Safe video" mode with F4 (this is usually necessary for me due to my weird monitor). So it's possible that safe video mode is broken - I'm not sure.
My graphics card is:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
The attached monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster 170MP, connected via VGA, at 1280x1024/58Hz and the vesa driver. Historically autodetection by the installer fails so I boot in "safe video mode" and supply my own xorg.conf later. This has worked for me through Hardy.
My motherboard is an Asus K8V-X SE with an Athlon 64 2800+ installed.

It might be useful to indicate what hardware (esp. motherboard and video card and monitor) you are using, as well as things like the monitor refresh rate and how you are plugged in (DVI/VGA)
