Blank screen issue

[Miostellar]

Hi, Many thanks for replies and suggestions. I have spent the past few days trying to resolve this problem without any real success & have decided to give it up as a bad job for the time being and re-install Ubuntu which, to be fair, has always given me good service but after successfully installing Linux lite on my Aspire Netbook  I thought I would see how it performed on the Laptop - miserably as it turned out.  I've been working with Linux for a number of years and don't like to be beaten so I will keep LL2.2  as second choice on the Laptop and  as and when I feel like wasting an hour or two I will eventually get to the root of the blank screen problem. Watch this space.

Once again, thanks for suggestions.
