I'm afraid I no longer have access to the hardware needed to reproduce
this bug (and I doubt running recent versions of Ubuntu on hardware
supported by viafb is something many other people do, either).

Please do whatever's necessary to reflect that to this bug's state,
assuming leaving it permanently incomplete is not desirable (I wanted to
mark it "Won't fix", but launchpad won't let me).

Title:
  viafb and vga16fb turn off lcd on an acer aspire 1350

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After upgrading from karmic to lucid my laptop turns off its lcd panel
  early during boot, after which I cannot figure out a way to turn it
  back on. X starts (I can hear the gdm drums and log in blindly), I can
  ctrl+alt+f1 out of X and alt+f7 back into X, but during all this I get
  no output on the screen. Blacklisting the viafb module gives me a
  garbled framebuffer. Blacklisting vga16fb too makes everything work.

  Fixing this is a little annoying because just disabling X still does
  not give you a working shell (I used a rescue cd to edit
  /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf). So it might be nice to fix this
  before lucid is released, even if it involves disabling viafb on more
  systems than strictly necessary.

  I'd be happy to test any patched kernel images that might avoid this
  bug.
