Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome

I have upgraded my Xubuntu karmic installation to lucid to test the
alpha release of lucid. After the upgrade, which went smoothly, I
rebooted the machine. I expected to see the GDM login screen eventually,
but all I got was a completely black screen. Even the backlight of the
LCD panel of my laptop was off. Pressing the (CTRL+)ALT+Fx key
combinations did not (visibly) result in a change to the virtual
terminal that corresponds to the F-key pressed.

When I rebooted to use the recovery mode/single mode, I found that I
couldn't get a text console even then. I was able to log in via SSH,
which works perfectly and allowed me to run apport-cli from this
machine. Furthermore, I could get a full graphical desktop by using
vnc4server on this laptop and a vnc viewer on another machine, which
confirms that the install is basically working. Therefore, I'm guessing
that it has to do with the X server or driver, also because I've had
some graphics-related trouble with this particular chipset that is
inside my laptop before (VIA KM400).Still, it also might be due to this
new boot splash method ubuntu is apparently using, but I'm not sure.
