[Bug 444123] Re: [GeForce 9500 GT] X has black screen

 

I have a similar problem with Karmic Kubuntu on a Dell Inspiron with an
integrated Intel 82845G/GL video card.  Boot is completely normal up to
the point the splash screen that shows the icons for hardware, desktop,
settings, network, and KDE appearing in succession (I may have the order
wrong, but the process finished with the big KDE logo icon).  The screen
then goes blank, except for the mouse cursor.  I can bring up the "Run"
dialog box by Alt-F2, and using it have been able to bring up all of the
programs I expected to be installed, except the program window appears
in a very minimalized form in the upper left corner.  By dragging a
corner I can make the window a normal size.  Programs work normally, but
when I minimize the window they disappear.  To shutdown I run Alt-F2
"Shutdown", and am able to log out.  Ubuntu-desktop and Xbuntu-desktop
have been installed and work normally.
