[Bug 600453] Re: [arrandale] [i915] DELL E6510: blank screen on boot (Intel GPU)

[Corona]

Francisco, I don't think anything will happen until significant progress
is made upstream. Henk's patch works very well for me, but it is not
considered as a proper solution so I don't think we will see it in
Maverick. You can follow the upstream bug report here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29278 .

The most recent working kernel is this one I think:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.35-rc5-maverick/ VGA
output works and there is no blank screen on boot, but you need a
workaround to get suspend working. I don't remember the actual bug
report with this workaround, but I think it's not very difficult to
find.

Still, I think it's a shame that there is so little attention for this
bug, especially when compared with the e6410. What puzzles me most of
all is that the E6510 is apparently Ubuntu certified:
http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201009-6534/ .
Canonical says that only the Lucid OEM version has been tested, I wonder
where we can find it...
