[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#748666: base: Screen garbled on booting in the linux kernel

[Maurizio]

Package: base
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
After installation, on Dell Inspiron 1501, after grub booting on the linux
kernel the screen goes garbled and resume working after 10 minutes
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
The only workaround was to put the following three lines in /etc/rc.local:
vbetool dpms off
sleep 1
vbetool dpms on
   * What was the outcome of this action?
After a few seconds, instead of waiting 10 minutes, the screen appeared normal
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
I will expect to get a normal screen just after grub booting
