Video issue on boot adding nomodeset fixed it

Hello again,
Since the bug in installing a s4 snapshot from a Q4 windows installation to a hard drive with legacy bios presented  issues, I decided to do a fresh hard drive Trinity install. It booted the first time, then only occasionally. Seems an issue with the graphics card as I am presented with a black screen before the login screen would appear. CTRL-ALT-F1 does nothing to get to the console. Adding nomodeset to grub  seemed to sove the problem. Graphics is Intel Mobile 4 series integrated. One nice thing is a hard drive install seems to run smoother than the windows install on this old 2gb ram Fujitsu p1630 mini laptop.
