[Bug 518623] Re: [KM400] Black screen after boot, no text console possible

[gokul]

With the workaround from comment #37 (blacklisting viafb), my boot
process completes without freezing [mentioned in my earlier comments].

[I realize that the following may not be related to this bug. But I have mentioned it just in case]:
After the boot, I have to do a Ctrl+Alt+Del to get to gdm [not at random]--- otherwise the monitor (HP M900) displays a message "Invalid Scanning Frequency" and I can see scan lines in the screen(this happens with and without an xorg.conf). After the ctrl+alt+del gdm comes up at the right resolution if an xorg.conf is in place (a low res screen otherwise).
At present:
1) with neither the karmic kernel (2.6.31-19) nor the lucid kernel (2.6.32-20),  Xorg is able to set my monitor resolution correct. I need to have a customized xorg.conf.
2) with karmic kernel (2.6.31-19), gdm is reached without the ctrl+alt+del quirk.
