I just tried the i386 LiveCD of Kubuntu 10.04 alpha 3.

Starting with a normal livecd boot, the 'ubuntu' splash screen shows up without any loss of signal to the monitor. After a while, there is a small transition where the monitor goes "out of frequency", possibly due to testing settings. Then KDE appears and all is well.

With the "quiet splash" options removed, the splash screen does not appear, and the monitor does go to standby with the "no signal" message. This happens after the initial 4 or so seconds of the boot process appearing on the screen, which then flashes a green background, and then goes blank. This is when the "no signal" message appears on the monitor. After it continues through the boot process, the 'ubuntu' splash image shows up briefly, just before the "out of frequency" message, and then KDE appears. The monitor is in standby about 15 seconds.

I have tried both the DVI and VGA outputs on the video card, and both times the results were the same. I tried both at the same time too, and both monitors responded identically.
