[Bug 561802] Re: [i915] blank screen on Latitude E6410 (NOT E6510)

[elow_my@yahoo.com]

Hi All,
I've just recently install Ubuntu 10.04 and am a DELL E6410 user. I am facing the blank screen on Live CD, and post install and found the only way to get it working is to add boot options "nomodeset xforcevesa" which then works fine in X.

I've been following this bug thread with great interest and will try
some of the suggestions here, like upgrading to newer kernel.

Also, have a question, what do i lose by running in my current setting
with xforcevesa, do i lose some graphic capabilities? At the moment,
system is working fine (no hangs) with standard apps like Google, etc.

My system details are:
DELL E6410
Core i5 
Intel GMA 
4GB RAM
