[Bug 600453] Re: [arrandale] [i915] DELL E6510: blank screen on boot (Intel GPU)

 

Hi All,

I think getting picture on the laptop's display is fundamental. If I
need to do a presentation, which is done with laptops, I would need the
possibility to use external display or projector.

With Maverick and laptops with Intel graphic card this is almost
impossible to do.

1. Start laptop where laptop will display anything (except backlight), is in every 4-5 boot ups
2. If I get display in the end, if I switch it off, I will not get it back (except back light).
3. Using Fn-F4 (switch display keys), is working in one way. Buy switching off laptops display ;-)
4. Connecting external display, sometimes doesn't work, because it will not switch it on, or it will switch laptops display off.

What is possibly wrong is that internal display is DP1 and not VGA1,
meaning that external display is VGA1.

This should be first priority bug. Or please tell us if there is some
workaround.

Thanks
Dejan
