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

[Corona]

I tested henk's patch mentioned in this thread (comment 63) https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29278#c63 , applied on top of linux-2.6.36-rc5. 
It only works for me if I increase the delays to 900ms (500 and 300 don't work, I haven't tried any values between 900 and 500), but it really seems to fix the black screen. I can see the bootloader and the login screen now, and I can resume from suspend.  The cardreader is supported by default. I haven't tested VGA output yet but I guess that works, too. 

I tried to upload my deb packages to a PPA but I couldn't figure out how
to do it, so I'm going to try to add them as an attachment.
