Right now the screen is totally black. I discovered the working second
screen because someone tried it for me. They actually tried to boot another
system (read Windows) and that worked perfectly. When I boot I see the
mashines own welcome ("e") and maybe there are some purple on the screen.
After that, it's all black.

After rebooting, I discovered by chance that is not totally correct. I
happened to have a very bright lamp shining rigt into the primary screen.
And I could in fact see the icons of Ubuntu. I signed on and the desktop
apeared but only when I shine the lamp against is. Otherwise it is black.
It's kind a stange... I tabed the Fn-key and the >-key in order to increase
the light on the screen but it had no effect.

I hope this will help solving the problem. If not, please do not hesitate to
contact me for further information.
