[mdlug] ubuntu server 10.10 to 11.04 strange text video error

[Gmail-otakurider]

Got a strange after upgrade video issue. 
Short and sweet.  Was running ubuntu server 10.10, upgraded to 11.04
server using(sudo do-release-upgrade).  After upgrade the video (monitor
plugged into video card directly) now only displays a white screen with
strange black < ({{({.. type letters only.  If I ssh in the text is
displayed fine.  From what I can tell everything else upgraded fine web
server, openvpn, opencloud, fengoffice, etc.  And yes video works fine
if I boot from live CD, its a DELL L700CXE with on motherboard video.

Any ideas?
