Comments/Problems:

When I boot kernel ("linux") and initrd.gz from GRUB without any boot parameters, I get the usual text output after booting and then a blank screen. Switching to text console with Ctrl+Alt+F<x> is not possible, I must reboot.

When I give "vga=ask" as boot parameter, I can select a video mode. 800x600 works perfectly, I also tried 1280x1024 and 640x480 and these work, too.

I saved the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log and attach it to this bug report.
