Rebooting didn't help as it just booted to the black screen again instead of the user login screen. I tried adding "nomodeset" to the Grub boot command. Still no joy. Finally I tried adding "radeon.modeset=0" (which I'd seen recommended somewhere) and that worked.
However the next time the same thing happened, neither "nomodeset" nor "radeon.modeset=0" gets anything other than the black screen with the mouse pointer.
It still seems to be running fine as I can operate BackupPC by accessing it via the web on another PC I've got on the network.
I believe the Chipset is Intel 945GSE.
Any suggestions?
