I have the same problem in openSUSE 11.4 Milestone 5 with Dell Optiplex 980 with two dual head graphic cards.
Symptoms: Grub appears, then initial kernel splash, then screen goes to sleep. Finally X screen appears after several seconds. Ctrl+Alt+F1 causes screen freeze (X display is still visible, but does not react), pressing Ctrl+Alt+F7 returns back. Summary: Console does not work. Grub, initial kernel splash and X works. I can provide hwinfo. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/600453 Title: [arrandale] [i915] DELL E6510: blank screen on boot (Intel GPU) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
