[Bug 600453] Re: [arrandale] [i915] DELL E6510: blank screen on boot (Intel GPU)
I installed the x86_64 deb packages from #185, and I can confirm that it
works... with some issues with VirtualBox.
I had VirtualBox installed, so it actually gave me errors. I went to
the VirtualBox site and noticed that there was a 4.0.4 (I had 4.0.2)
update that was updated today, so I updated the 4.0.4 package (sudo apt-
get upgrade virtualbox-4.0). But by doing so, it wanted me to install
an updated 2.6.38-4 kernel, which I accepted. After it was done
upgrading, it rebooted to a blank screen (because it wasn't the
2.6.38-4.31~lp561802v201102162013 version). So I rebooted to an old
version that I know works, then I installed the kernel listed in #185
(which during the process it said it was 'downgrading'). I rebooted and
everything works now (no blank screen and virtualbox 4.0.4 works).
I have not tested with external monitor or docking station. I will try
to do that later.
I'm on KDE (Kubuntu), and when I change the brightness, it something
funny, like it will go down in brightness, then up a little.
Note: once I rebooted with the #185 version, apt-get wants me to upgrade
to the 2.6.38-4 kernel, which I know it won't work, so i'll just ignore
for now.

Bug description:
I am running Ubuntu Linux 10.04 64 bits on a DELL 6510 notebook with
integrated Intel graphics card. The machine only boots in a low-
graphics mode. I detected the following error message in the logs:

I used i915,modeset=0 as a kernel option but I am no longer using. The
xorg.config file I am using is
