This might provide some context, although it won't give you the answer to your 'black screen' question. http://www.hentzenwerke.com/wp/fromgui_totext.htm -- Whil Moving to Linux: Freedom, Choice, Security, Opportunity http://www.hentzenwerke.com
I had the same problem in the past, and was because the video card I had (wasn't fully supported). I believe you should have a similar problem. Try changing it (if it is possible), or the monitor, and see what happens. I really don't know much of drivers and video drivers, but that time changing some X parameters did the trick.
