I have the same problem upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 on my Gateway
NV79.  Booting with kernel 2.6.35-24 has this problem. Booting with
2.6.32.27 (the previous kernel for 10.04?) at least gets me back to a
working display.

Here's a description of when the issue occurs during booting:
At first, for a while, a single "_" appears in the upper left of display. Then a single line status message appears very briefly (less than 1 second) and it is difficult to recall what it says .. something about intel and 0.0.0.0.

Then when the display goes black with an audible sound of a switch
clicking .. same sound occurs during normal boot when it precedes the
display showing a full xserver service occuring. I suspect that either
the display chip has been turned off or (more likely) the display itself
has been turned off (or just the backlight?).

I cannot figure out any other settings that I can adjust. Please advise
a work-around or patch this quickly. Thanks!

Title:
  When i upgraded to 10.10 the screen on my laptop(Gateway nv79) went
  completely black and I could not see anything unless I held a
  flashlight to the screen to see. The only way I am able to fix this is
  issue is by doing a system test. But as soon as my laptop goes to
  sleep it goes back to the black screen. I could not find another fix
  because once I did the system testing for 10.10 it would not allow me
  to do the testing again to fix it.
