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. ** Attachment added: "linux-image-2.6.36-rc5_2.6.36-rc5-10.00.Custom_i386.deb" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/600453/+attachment/1641859/+files/linux-image-2.6.36-rc5_2.6.36-rc5-10.00.Custom_i386.deb -- [arrandale] [i915] DELL E6510: blank screen on boot (Intel GPU) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/600453 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
