every thing is fine in your system you don`t have to worry about that , that is another tty login screen !!

I think I wasn't very clear in my question.
I know that with ctrl alt f1 you get a tty login screen.
The problem is that I dont get a tty login screen.
As I said I get a completely black screen with no login no nothing
Thanks very much
John
I get the tty1 login if i press enter twice
Are ctrl+alt+f2 or f3 or f4 or f5 working...?
HTH

No, no tty screen. F1 - F6
Totally blank
But the system continues to work, doesn't hang and keyboard works
Just no screen at all
I suspect it has something to do with ati opensource drivers

If you are using Gutsy, you are probably seeing bug 129910. Framebuffer is not supported by default at the moment. You can follow the work-arounds in the bug report to get the frambuffer working again.
If you have a boot option vga=number, you can also try to remove that option, but it will give you a reduced resolution console.

Thanks very much
Indeed I was having this bug 129910
I was able to resolve it by doing the following
sudo vi /etc/initramfs-
added fbcon and vesafb
sudo update-initramfs -u -k all -v
sudo vi /etc/modprobe.
added comment to vesafb
#blacklist vesafb
Thanks again to all
I'm having the same problem in Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid 64bit but worst because I've done this and it didn't have effect.
I've submitted as a new bug 338308

Provided workaround works for my Ubuntu 9,10 on Dell Latitude E6400
