[Bug 1065902] Re: black/blue screen before installer, tty switch fixes it

[Paolo Pisati]

Some more infos on my setup:

-reproducible on a panda ES rev B1 and a panda rev A4
-using the hdmi output on the board (the one closest to the usb + nic tower) and an hdmi->dvi cable

this setup has worked well since Maverick but i get this bug constantly
with Q.

Two ways to get around it:

1) using a native hdmi device (like my plasma tv), and using the hdmi
output, i DON'T get this bug

or

2) using the other hdmi output on the board and the aforementioned
hdmi->dvi cable (but i get a crappy resolution in this case).

  During a test installation, after the purple Ubuntu splash screen, the user is greeted with a black or blue screen instead of the installer.
  Switching tty and back (ctrl+alt+f1 and alt+f7) fixes it.
