[Bug 431812] Re: i915: black screen on boot

[Ian W Scott]

I just want to confirm that this bug persists, even now that the final
9.10 release is out. The workaround adding i915.modeset=0 to the boot
arguments in grub works for me on my hp Pavilion dv2000. But this is a
serious problem to be persisting in a final release! Given that my
machine (and other experiencing the same problem) is pretty common
hardware, this seems to me to be a massive barrier for people that might
try to adopt Ubuntu with this release. We cannot expect users to mess
with their grub arguments. In any case, as of today (Nov. 3rd) the most
recent updates have not solved the issue.
