Video problem after boot [SOLVED]

Hi everyone, I have the this issue

I already installed arch on a vaio VGN-S360 but after it boot the screen first goes white per pixel, I mean each pixel goes from black to white and then to black I don't know how to explain it exactly. The thing is that the screen after boot the system is completely black.

I can access like root, and reboot so I realize that the command line is operational but the screen is no giving me the output.

Can it be a grub problem or a specific hardware issue???

Any suggestion and help will be helpful

thanks everyone

Re: Video problem after boot [SOLVED]

I found the solution to the issue, this laptop has a ATI graphic card and it seems that the problem is there.

in the boot menu, hit ' e ' for edit the menu settings and and the end of the linux line add radeon.modeset=0

whit that the system goes fine.

I thinks that I should add that line to the menu.lst
