[clug] Video issues

[James Ring]

Hey Paul,

Just a shot in the dark, but if you're using an nvidia card with the
built-in drivers, you might want to try setting the "nomodeset" option in
your kernel boot parameters, see
http://askubuntu.com/questions/140640/nvidia-drivers-and-kernel-update-problems-nomodeset
.

Regards,
James
