Booting with Test Day:2009-09-11 Intel live cd 64bit the inbuilt display always 
stays black after grub. Only the backlight goes on. After a while I can hear 
the melody played when it logs in automatically. But the display stays black. I 
shut it down blindly with power button + return. It shut down regularly.
Booting with an external display attached gives me a picture on the external 
only. I switched the internal off with xrandr. The backlight went off and I got 
the menubar and taskbar onto the external monitor.
I have repeated this (external monitor attached) again with drm.debug=1 and 
produced the attached logs.
A screenshot (Screenshot.png) taken shows the whole screen, including the part 
I never see. 

also tried switching internal on with xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto. the
backlight comes back on but no picture.

with nomodeset it works fine.
dpms: screensaver does not kick in but power management does and it recovers 
correctly.
enabling desktop effects fails with something like hardware not supported.
Xv works.
fastuserswitching works.
VT terminal switching works.
suspend resume works with external.

I have also tried this with current ubuntu karmic and filed a bug there:

Title:
  KMS: notebook boots but stays black

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux package in Fedora:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Status]
  Bug is fixed in Lucid.
  Bug is not fixed in Karmic.

  [Workaround 1 (preferred)]
  As workaround disable kernel mode setting (KMS).
  To disable KMS add the option nomodeset to the kernel boot options in the 
grub config (for GRUB 2: edit /etc/default/grub and add nomodeset to 
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, then run sudo update-grub; for GRUB 1: edit 
/boot/grub/menu.lst and add nomodeset to the end of the line beginning with # 
kopt=, then run sudo update-grub).

  [Workaround 2 (alternative)]
  Use an external monitor:
  Connect to the VGA port before booting. It will show you a desktop on the 
external display after booting, however Gnome may place the menu on the 
dysfunctional internal display (LVDS1). To get your menu to the external 
display switch off the internal display. To do so press Alt+F2 to get a "Run 
Application" window, type "gnome-terminal" in there and click Run. A terminal 
window will appear. Write "xrandr --output LVDS1 --off" (without the hyphens) 
in the terminal and press enter. 

  [Report]
  The default boot process on the very recent acer extensa 5635z does not 
display anything after grub. The backlight is on but everything stays black.
  The system is karmic with xorg-edgers. The karmic desktop live 64bit daily of 
September 5th shows the same behaviour.
  Luckily an external display connencted before boot displays everything just 
fine. The internal display is again always black. So I did an ubuntu-bug linux 
just after boot up with the external monitor connected. Screenshot1.png shows 
that the monitors are in mirror mode at 1024x768.
  At a previous boot I played around with the display settings a bit more (via 
the GUI). I could set the external monitor to its native resolution. That 
displayed fine. I could also set the internal monitor to its 1366x768 native 
resolution, but it stayed black. A screenshot captured all the contents of the 
two screens just fine. See Screenshot2.png.

  Booting with a current live Fedora 12 alpha 1 shows the same general 
behaviour. Booting with external monitor there works also.
  update: the bug is now fixed in fedora 20091111

  Checked again with fully updated karmic as of 2009-09-13 and its new
  kernel 2.6.31-10-generic. Still black after boot with kernel
  modesetting.

  Adding nomodeset to the boot parameters does, of course, circumvent
  this kernelmodesetting bug.

  Please let me know what further information is needed to fix this bug.
