[Bug 600453] Re: [arrandale] [i915] DELL E6510: blank screen on boot (Intel GPU)

[Corona]

Thanks, Francisco. I added the tags [arrandale] and [i915], I hope the
bug will attract more attention this way. If anybody is following this
bug report, please comment on your experience.

I believe it's exactly the same bug as the one in
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29278 .

For the moment I'm running a modified 2.6.35 kernel. I tweaked it to
support the e6510's card reader, and I also fixed the blank screen issue
by reverting the patch mentioned here
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29278#c5 . Apparently, this
is not really a proper fix, but it works and it supports external
monitors. For suspend and resume, I use the workaround mentioned here
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/578673?comments=all
. I'm aware that not all this information is relevant to the issue
reported here, but I just wanted to give an overview of issues and
possible workarounds.
