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

[Gmail-otakurider]

Update on the video issue .. its fixed .. to fix it I needed to 
un-comment the line GRUB-TERMINAL=console   in /etc/default/grub, then 
rerun update-grub.  must be a issues with my video driver and this 
forces it in to text only mode perhaps.

Thanks all for the ideas.

Pat.
