[Bug 570299] Re: [linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic] i855 won't display

[bthylafh]

This bug still exists in linux-image-2.6.32-22.33.  The laptop will,
however, boot successfully on the 2.6.33-020633-generic kernel from
ppa.launchpad.net/kernel-ppa/.

I'll attach the results of apport-collect shortly, while the laptop's
booted on the .33 kernel.

** Tags added: apport-collected

** Description changed:

  Regression from 2.6.32-19.  On this Gateway M275 convertible tablet
  (i855 chipset & video), -21 will boot, but either at the point of
  displaying the "Ubuntu" splash or just before, the screen will go black
  and it's not possible to switch to a pty.  Magic SysRq key does not
  appear to be functional either.
  
  I can boot successfully into recovery mode, and X will come up if I have
  it use a generic display configuration.
  
  With -19 it works as expected.
  
  I have all updates as of 2010-04-26 1239CDT installed.
