I'm also facing this issue. I've just installed Ubuntu 7.10 rc on my Sony laptop and now have a completely blank screen during boot, until the gdm login screen appears. The screen is also completely blank during shutdown until the computer powers off. Everything else seems to be working fine in Ubuntu. Booting and shutting down from the 7.10 rc LiveCD is problem-free - this only started happening after I installed 7.10 rc to my hard drive. This issue was not present on Ubuntu 7.04.
My graphics card is a Mobility Radeon M6 LY. Since this bug seems similar to this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usplash/+bug/125589 I'm attaching the outputs of 'lspci -vv' and 'lspci -vvn' as requested in the above bug report, in case they're of any importance. Let me know if I can provide any further information.
