[Bug 593002] Re: Monitor turned off on boot - never turns back on - (also in recovery mode)

[Captain Chaos]

Thanks for the tip. I found out how to add this parameter, and now it
does indeed boot!

Now that I can boot the system, how can I find out what's going wrong
when the nomodeset parameter is not set?

By the way, I don't know if this is related, but now that I can boot I
can't start X. I installed xfce4 and its dependencies and tried startx
but when I do the system hangs with a flashing caps lock and scroll lock
light on the keyboard. What does that mean?
