Okay, I managed to get it working again... and at least for me, this is *not* an xserver Bug.
Everybody who has the "Installer stops on xresprobe with black screen + two characters", this is probably the correct bug. For everybody who has edgy and has a working usplash but at some point the display blanks, please try this: - Log into single user mode - sudo nano -w /etc/apt/preferences: Package: usplash Pin: version 0.4-15 Pin-Priority: 1001 - Save, exit (Ctrl+O, Ctrl+X) - sudo apt-get dist-upgrade This will downgrade usplash and should fix the bug (did for me). I will soon post a bug number for the bug in usplash. -- Black screen during install after configuring of xserver (on certain intel graphics cards) https://launchpad.net/bugs/41106 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
