If I do a Ctrl-Alt-F1 just after the login screen, the command line displays O.K. I then listen for boot to complete. When activity stops, I do a Ctrl-Alt-F7 then the Gnome desktop displays, background, top & bottom lines, the whole bit. For about a second. Then everything goes black again. Same thing in both CD Live and Install.
