Yes - if I start with Feisty Desktop install CD I get a black screen of
death.

As I wrote in comment 4 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/xserver-xorg-video-via/+bug/21416/comments/4) for this KN/KM400 chip
there has to be an entry in xorg.conf in "Device" section:

Section "Device"
  ...
  Option "VBEModes" "true"
EndSection

I posted that solution 1,5 years ago - now I do not use this notebook as
my  primary computer any more.

It seems that this problem only occured on some Acer Aspire 135x
configurations as Simon Hepburn wrote that he has NOT that problem.

My advice: add that option while configuring VIA KN/KM400 chipsets. But
I wouldn't invest too much time in fixing an error of a very bad graphic
card.
