[Bug 431812] Re: i915: black screen on boot

[joeclarkia]

I had this problem earlier in the karmic release cycle, and now, after
using Update Manager to update to what I assume is the Release
Candidate, the problem returned.  I suppose that the update overwrote my
grub settings, which had the i915.modeset=0 parameter added.  So... is
this parameter still supposed to be required?  It apparently still is on
my hardware at least (Dell GX60, Intel 82845G/GL). Maybe the
installer/updater should set it automatically for unfortunate hardware
like mine, if there is no actual fix for the problem.
