Answer 1

I too am having Minecraft problems.  I've managed to fix the black screen issue by launching minecraft with the script posted in this thread.
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/java/jre/lib/amd64"
java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame
Some people have reported that simply installing the updated LWJGL libraries has fixed the black screen problem but it didn't work for me.  If you're unsure how to do this, you basically drag and drop them into the proper subdirectories of ~/.minecraft
