[Solved]black video output on poweron

I ripped out my nvidia 9600GT to use the onboard card wich is an nvidia 8200 chip. Bios and grub menu is there without problems but once udev starts to do it's bussiness the screen turns black((but doesn't go into sleepmode), I can log in fine and startx and then the screen comes back. Any ideas?

Fixed it, it was the frame buffer wich was too large for the 8200 chip (775) lowered it to 773
