Lucid dead black screen again today!  On one or another of my test pc's
with intel and ati video graphics I get black screen for weeks on
Intrepid, Jaunty, Karmic, now Lucid.

Only way I got running today was to boot in recovery and manually key
in:

nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "vesa"
EndSection

which at least functions.

In previous Ubuntu's there was a "safe" mode, or at least a scaffold
xorg.conf to start with.

Brian Rogers on bug #406460 had some suggestion on something to try:

so I'll give it a go.  Thanks.

Jerry
