There is a problem with the intel driver kms in Natty which causes the screen's
backlight to switch off just after leaving the grub screen. Problem does not
exist with 10.10 but exists with virtually every other recent distro out there
(Opensuse 11.2 - 11.4, Fedora etc) which leads me to believe it's a bug
inherited from the upstream that was fixed in maverick.
The only way to boot the laptop successfully is by adding the nomodeset option,
which unfortunately results in no 3D nor the correct resolution.
I am currently back to maverick but I would love to use natty asap so thanks
for resolving the bug.
