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... ** Also affects: linux (Fedora) via http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29278 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- [arrandale] [i915] DELL E6510: blank screen on boot (Intel GPU) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/600453 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
