Public bug reported: I have a Dell Precision 390 (Intel Core 2 Duo) and use 8.04 without any problem whatever. I recently also installed 9.10.
>From a cold start 9.10 won't boot correctly. The screen goes to "entering power save" mode and remains black. However from the sounds emitted the boot process is progressing to the log in screen. However if I start 8.04 first and then restart and select 9.10, 9.10 usually starts and runs correctly. Looking at /boot/grub/grub.cfg and /etc/default/grub I'm wondering if perhaps it's as simple as the time out values are too low. Any suggestions? Ted I also posted this problem on Ubuntu forums here ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1305459&page=30 ) Then John Pizzapone (see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1305459&page=30 ) discovered that changing the selected DVI outlet fixed his boot problem. I changed mine and it also fixed my boot problem with 9.10. There must be a difference between 8.04 and 9.10 scripts that confuses the graphics card. If someone expert can look at this it may solve a problem perplexing a large number of otherwise happy Ubuntu users.
