[Bug 529234] [NEW] monitor drops to standby with "no signal" during boot splash on luicd alpha 3

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

During the boot of Lucid alpha 3, the monitor loses signal after the
grub menu, and before KDE starts, dropping into standby mode and
displaying "no signal".

Video card is nvidia GeForce 7300 GS.

The install was with an encrypted drive, meaning the passphrase prompt
is never seen by the user, or any other user input prior to the KDE
login prompt.

Turning off quiet and splash in grub has no effect.  Using "nomodeset"
shows the boot process, and the query for the passphrase, but won't boot
KDE.  x fails to start in that condition, and logins to the console take
over 30 seconds to respond with a prompt.  startx also fails with
errors.

The 64 bit alternate install of Lucid alpha 3 actually completed
successfully, but booting into the actual system requires me to wait
until disk activity halts, then I wait a little more to make sure the
prompt for the passphrase is settled, and then I enter the passphrase to
a blank screen, and then KDE will come up.  The monitor gets a signal
when KDE starts, but not during the booting of the kernel.

With my system, any kernel boots of Lucid alpha 3 [liveCD, installs
without encryption, installs with encryption] using the graphical boot
system results in a period of monitor standby.  Only when KDE starts
does the monitor resume.
