Keith, My Dell did similar. The below summarizes my now working 10.3 install. 1) Fresh Install terminated with a black screen. 2) I pushed the power button and rebooted (Possibly not the smartest move. I was frustrated.) 3) Got some of the final install steps again. 4) Got a display this time, but horribly unusable 5) cntrl-alt-f2 and logged into a text console as root 6) Ran Sax2 multiple times with multiple args. Non provided a clean display. 7) By pure chance ran "sax2 1600x1200" as my last attempt 8) Rebooted the machine for some reason. 9) My display suddenly started to work just fine and continues to work Hope you can at least get some troubleshooting ideas from the above. FYI: I did put all this in a bugzilla, but I did not capture logs early enough to be really useful.
