Also I wonder if you are using a LCD screen or a CRT monitor. Just fishing.

Might swap monitors to a CRT and see what happens. I know this is not practical
with most setups, (only one computer) but I have to do that sort of thing sometimes to see if I can pin down the problem.

Did have a S3 graphics card that would lock up in X in Redhat and SuSE on one
motherboard, but not on another. So, I stayed with the motherboard/graphics card combo that worked!
Can't fight all the compatibility problems, sometimes you
just have to go with the flow...

I wish I could get 0.8.1.1 right away so I could test this out on various machines.
Maybe it is because the thing goes right to a certain resolution, screen size,
etc, but I doubt it. I do that with Rapidweather Remaster, (I have both 800x600 and 1024x768 versions)
I'm stumped on the blank screen not being cured by "boot: knoppix vga=normal"
There is one thing that you can try, and that's the Framebuffer setup:
boot: fb800x600 restore toram
Then, choose: xfbdev xserver (OK)
For that, one needs to be able to run xsetup.sh, and from what I can
determine, 0.8.1.1 skips that, and goes right to a default setting, probably
an xvesa X server, which won't boot on your screen.
