Hi All, I've just recently install Ubuntu 10.04 and am a DELL E6410 user. I am facing the blank screen on Live CD, and post install and found the only way to get it working is to add boot options "nomodeset xforcevesa" which then works fine in X.
I've been following this bug thread with great interest and will try some of the suggestions here, like upgrading to newer kernel. Also, have a question, what do i lose by running in my current setting with xforcevesa, do i lose some graphic capabilities? At the moment, system is working fine (no hangs) with standard apps like Google, etc. My system details are: DELL E6410 Core i5 Intel GMA 4GB RAM uname -a Linux 1006-UB 2.6.32-24-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 28 05:14:15 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor DRAM Controller (rev 02) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 05) -- [i915] blank screen on Latitude E6410 (NOT E6510) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/561802 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
