My experience with Acer TravelMate 5335 (video Intel GMA 4500M) and ubuntu 11.04:
SOLUTION 1 (bad): renounce to graphic acceleration and add "nomodeset" into boot (typeing "e" on grub start) or in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT option into "/etc/default/grub". at least you can boot without an external VGA monitor and try to solve SOLUTION 2 (quiet bad): try to install previous kernels like 2.6.35 (there is an italian debian experience at http://forum.debianizzati.org/viewtopic.php?t=43209&p=132402) SOLUTION 3 (less bed): add the following commad into "/etc/rc.local" : setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=00 The kernel bug remains still there but your monitor will turn on boot before loading x server. But the game "tux racing" turns again the monitor off. Hibernating too (someone say, haven't tried yet) I don't know if it is a linux bug or an ubuntu bug, surely this interests debian distributions too. sorry for my english. good luck.
