As mentioned in comment #184 people are getting good results with kernels prepared for that bug, to repeat what I said on that bug:
In the upstream bug Jesse provides a 2.6.38 based backport of an upstream fix. I have pulled this into a Natty kernel. Could those of you affected by the black screen on boot try the kernels below and report back here. The kernels are at the URL below: http://people.canonical.com/~apw/lp561802-natty/ Please report back here. Thanks. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Natty) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/600453 Title: [arrandale] [i915] DELL E6510: blank screen on boot (Intel GPU) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
