@Mark:

I posted to all three bugs that the changelog indicates are fixed by the
backported patch. I wouldn't be surprised at all if other changes were
part of the resolution, even if the X stack isn't involved, as related
parts of the kernel driver have seen very significant change between
maverick and natty. Note though that comments #200 and #201 on bug
#561802 indicate that using a natty kernel with maverick fixes the
problem on the E6410, which would contradict the idea that a fix to the
X stack is needed.

It would be helpful to have testing on an E6410 if possible, but I'm not
very hopeful of it working since it didn't help with the E6510.

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:

  (EE) intel(0): No kernel modesetting driver detected

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

  Section "Device"
  Identifier "Configured Video Device"
  BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
  Driver "intel"
  Option  "AccelMethod"  "UXA"

  My kernel is

  Linux darwin 2.6.32-23-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 11 08:03:28 UTC
  2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  The intel driver:

  Any suggestions? Thanks.
