I have also received similar problems on my Toshiba Satellite 1805-S273. I researched a number of other recent distro releases and found similar results. Fedora Core 8 RC3 had the same issue with this computer as did the latest debian release. The common thread seems to be xorg version 7.3 and the associated driver. The command line version of 7.10 works fine on this system, just xorg comes up with a black screen. Users getting the Error 15 in GRUB can install Ubuntu 7.10 using the alternate install disk and doint the command-line only install. The OS will install properly, boot and run.

I posted the scenario of my tests on the hardware/install forum to help those looking for workarounds/fixes.

This solution worked for me and have been running for some time. It needs to be put into the 8.04 alpha tree as I have seen the problem in the new branch as well.when I test it a couple of weeks ago. If this fix is in a current alpha, I will test the boot up on the Toshiba to ensure the live-cd boots up properly to a live desktop.
