Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-sis

I have an old acre aspire 3500 with sis graphic video card. When Ubuntu start with 2.6.35.26-generic and screen resolution is 1024x768 the computer show only black screen. However, I noticed it is in working condition because if I blindly hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete and then press enter, the computer proceed with normal shut down.
But if the Ubuntu start with 2.6.35.23-generic and the screen resolution is 1024x768 it works fine without the black start-up screen. Therefore, I changed the monitor to the next available resolution which is 1024x576 and did restart I found that the computer is working normally. I tried the recommendations in bug 584339 and add sisfb to grub and install v86d but without any success.

Please inform what I can do to restore the screen resolution to 1024x768
without black screen at start.
