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

[Dries Van Dyck]

I had the same experience as Christian with my E6510 with integrated
intel gpu: I first installed Ubuntu 10.04 which worked fine, applied the
updates and rebooted to a blank screen (with backlight if I remember
correctly). Strangely enough, booting with the original kernel which
worked fine before yielded also a blank screen.

I tried ubuntu 10.10 afterwards: the install CD gave a blank screen but
using the nomodeset boot option I could install graphically but first
boot resulted again in a blank screen. I tried several boot options
(including nomodeset) without success.

I do not understand why the working graphics configuration *during*
install is not used and can not be replicated *after* install.
