My best bet so far has been to download the drm-intel kernel from the git repository (instructions at http://intellinuxgraphics.org/download.html), change the function intel_dp_dpms at drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_dp.c as follows: diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_dp.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_dp.c index 9caccd0..21c0dd7 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_dp.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_dp.c @@ -896,7 +896,7 @@ intel_dp_dpms(struct drm_encoder *encoder, int mode) if (mode != DRM_MODE_DPMS_ON) { if (IS_eDP(intel_dp) || IS_PCH_eDP(intel_dp)) { ironlake_edp_backlight_off(dev); - ironlake_edp_panel_off(dev); + // ironlake_edp_panel_off(dev); } if (dp_reg & DP_PORT_EN) intel_dp_link_down(intel_dp); (i.e., just comment out one line), cofigure it WITHOUT "staging" device drivers (some of them do not compile cleanly), compile and install. Note that you will have to make an init ram disk by yourself. With this my E6510, Intel HD - Boots without problems in graphical mode. - Suspends and restarts (I have been using it with this kernel only for one day, but w.o. issues so far). - Can connect to an external monitor w.o. freezing - VERY important for me, as I have to teach. Hope this helps! -- +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Manuel Carro --- Facultad de Informática -- U.
