    Blank screen before X

    Hi,
    I've installed Kubuntu on one of my laptops (Acer Aspire - AMD64 build of Dapper).
    There's a slightly annoying issue with graphics, where before X loads, and after X shuts down, the screen is just black.

    On boot everything is fine throughout GRUB, but as soon as the kernel starts booting, it's a black screen all the way until X starts.
    On shutdown, as soon as X dies, I get a black screen until the machine turns off/reboots.

    Any ideas?

    Regards.

    Just in case anyone else has this problem - I solved it by adding vga=791 to the end of the boot line in GRUB.
