So finally decided to upgrade the desktop (dual-booting with Windows 7 for games) from 9.10 (fresh install awhile ago, never did anything with it) to 10.04 - upgrade went fine, reboot, watch grub go by, and voila. Blank screen.
Things I tried in grub:
add 'xforcevesa'
add 'xforcevesa' & remove 'quiet splash'
add 'nomodeset' & remove 'quiet splash'
add 'nomodeset xforcevesa' & remove 'quiet splash'
add 'xforcevesa noapic noapci nosplash irqpoll' & remove 'quiet splash'
System config:
Asus M3A78-EM
Onboard GPU ATI Radeon HD3200 (hooked up on one monitor, via DVI)
Add-in GPU ATI Radeon HD5770 (hooked up to two monitors, via DVI)
I was hoping to test out Windows 7 in a VM, see how far I could get for GPU acceleration there - I'd much rather not run Windows on the bare iron for that machine, but if I can't get this fixed I have no option :-/
