Installer blank screen problem

Did you verify the iso download before burning the CD? I've had a bum CD or iso file in the past. You could also try an xbuntu live install for the test (or intstallation).

It's an idea but if (as I suspect) this is a problem with the X server not detecting my screen correctly, then once I have installed 11.10 and I try to boot into the new installation I'll encounter the same problem, *and* I will have overwritten a working Karmic installation which will leave me with a large useless box :) I'd like to get the installer working correctly, otherwise I'll have no confidence that this computer will work for me with 11.10.
