long shot: framebuffer problem? monitor not compatible
with OS screen drivers?

hi list,=== message truncated ===
i was away for a few month, so please forgive me if
this question was
asked before! (though i searched the list and
couldn't find anything).
the problem is as follows:
when the computer boots, i only see a blinking
cursor in the upper left
corner, then after the timeout, grub prints the
menu.lst entry of the
selected kernel and the screen gets filled with
white dots. after that,
usplash starts and everything is back to normal.
the problem is, if i hit Esc while the cursor
blinks, i can't see a
thing so navigating through the list with kernels
and os'es is a bit
difficult :)
i would be happy to sole this problem!
thanks in advance

here's my /boot/grub/menu.lst
# menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8)
# grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8),
# grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub
# and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/.
## default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM.
Numbering starts from
0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command
is not used.
#
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In
this case, the default
entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
default 0
## timeout sec
# Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before
automatically booting the
default entry
# (normally the first entry defined).
timeout 5
## hiddenmenu
# Hides the menu by default (press ESC to see the
menu)
# hiddenmenu
# Pretty colours
# color cyan/blue white/blue
## password ['--md5'] passwd
# If used in the first section of a menu file,
disable all interactive
editing
# control (menu entry editor and command-line) and
entries protected by
the
# command 'lock'
# e.g. password topsecret
# password --md5

AUTOMAGIC KERNEL LIST
### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
## lines between the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST markers
will be modified
## by the debian update-grub script except for the
default options below
## DO NOT UNCOMMENT THEM, Just edit them to your
needs
## ## Start Default Options ##
## default kernel options
## default kernel options for automagic boot options
## If you want special options for specific kernels
use kopt_x_y_z
## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can
be omitted.
## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro
## kopt_2_6_8=root=/dev/hdc1 ro
## kopt_2_6_8_2_686=root=/dev/hdc2 ro
# kopt=root=/dev/hda3 ro
## default grub root device
## e.g. groot=(hd0,0)
# groot=(hd0,0)
## should update-grub create alternative automagic
boot options
## e.g. alternative=true
## alternative=false
# alternative=true
## should update-grub lock alternative automagic
boot options
## e.g. lockalternative=true
## lockalternative=false
# lockalternative=false
## additional options to use with the default boot
option, but not with
the
## alternatives
## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5
# defoptions=quiet splash
## altoption boot targets option
## multiple altoptions lines are allowed
## e.g. altoptions=(extra menu suffix) extra boot
options
## altoptions=(recovery mode) single
# altoptions=(recovery mode) single
## controls how many kernels should be put into the
menu.lst
## only counts the first occurence of a kernel, not
the
## alternative kernel options
## e.g. howmany=all
## howmany=7
# howmany=all
## should update-grub create memtest86 boot option
## e.g. memtest86=true
## memtest86=false
# memtest86=true
## should update-grub adjust the value of the
default booted system
## can be true or false
# updatedefaultentry=false
