Can someone please help me!

I've just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my computer, beside windows XP. It went pretty well.
But when I first started Ubuntu, at logon, my screen began to flicker. And not just a screen, but my keyboard as well, so I'm not able type the logon information.

When I start Ubuntu from live CD without prior install. everything goes well, system finds all the drivers, it even wants to update the current display driver.

If anyone, who can help me needs some additional info, about hardware, or anything else, I'll provide it. Thanks!!!

Also, if one of the solutions is to get and install previous version of Ubuntu, I'll gladly do it.

I've got same problem with 9.10.
Just try acpi=off boot parameter.
On my notebook 9.04 went well.
