BackTrack 5 R3: Black Screen After Startx/Caps Lock Blinks/USB Thumb Drive Boot Problem

Well, I have to say up front, this took me a couple of hours to resolve.  It appears that this issue is quite common, but I found, literally no complete resolution to this issue anywhere on the Internet.  Here is what I tried to do:
I was trying to make a bootable USB drive with BackTrack 5 R3 on it.  Here is what I did to get that done:


1.  Get unetbootin and the ISO of backtrack.
2.  Run unetbootin and select the ISO of backtrack and the USB stick you want to use.
3.  Run the program and wait for it to finish.



This worked, except that it wouldn't boot after typing in 'startx".  It would just freeze up, black screen, and caps lock blinking steadily.  It wouldnt go any further.  From my research into this, it appears to be a video driver issue.  Im running a Lenovo G560 .  There appears to be fixes out there, but because Im running this on a USB drive, none of them were permanent fixes.  This is the fix that actually got me to realize that the my USB install was ok, and that this was a video driver issue (I found this in the BackTrack forums, posted by p0cTeam):quote: insert DVD-live, in the grub press TAB to edit boot, you well see something like this 

Step 1: Press Tab Here As Given Below :


Step 2 : Append :- initrd=/ubninit file=/cdrom/preseed/custom.seed boot=casper text splash vga=791 xforcevesa noapic noapci nosplash irqpoll --  and simply hit Enter.
as given blow:
