<http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1463294&highlight=change+grub+video+mode>Someone stated: "*I worked around the problem as follows:* - At install screen press F6 and select nomodeset and install Ubuntu as usual. - On first boot after install, press e on getting the GRUB bootloader. - Using arrow keys navigate to and delete *quiet* and *splash* and type the word *nomodeset* in their place - Press *Ctrl* and *X* to boot - You should now be able to login to your Ubuntu as usual" Maybe this will point you in the right direction. Seems to be a common problem.. On Thu, Jun 24, 2010 at 3:05 PM, Richard C.
