About my system:
Live-CD: Ubuntu Desktop 9.04
Graphics card: GeForce 8400 GS

What I did:
Boot the live cd while two monitors are connected (one to the analog slot of my graphics card, the other using a dvi-to-analog adapter to the dvi slot of my graphics card)

What I expected:
Installer/Live environment show up and are usable

What happened instead:
For the installer, I see the background image of the installer and nothing happens. For the live environment, there is only a black screen with a movable mouse pointer on it.

I've tried the boot option "nofb", but it didn't help. The problem does
not occur if I disconnect one of my monitors. After the installation, I
can connect the second monitor and set it up as without problems.
