Hey MagnusPI,


Thanks for your interest in Ubuntu.

Thanks for testing maverick during its development period.
Unfortunately it looks like this bug report didn't get attention during
the maverick development period.  But I see there's not been more
comments on the bug since the release, which makes me wonder if this is
still an issue for you?

If you've not seen this issue since maverick's release yourself, it may
have been solved by kernel or X or other updates that occurred late in
the release; if so, would you mind please closing the bug for us?  Go to
the URL mentioned in this bug report, click the yellow icon(s) in the
status column and set to 'Fix Released'.

If you no longer have the hardware needed to reproduce the problem, or
otherwise feel the bug no longer needs tracked in Launchpad, you can set
the status to 'Invalid'.

If you are the original reporter and still have this issue, just reply
to this email saying so.  (Or set the bug status to Confirmed.)  If you
are able to re-test this against 11.04 Natty Narwhal (our current
development focus) and find the issue still affects Natty, please also
run 'apport-collect <bug-number>' while running natty, which will add
fresh logs and debug data, and flag it for the Ubuntu-X development team
to look at.


** Description changed:

  It seems to be a bug in drm.ko or i915.ko kernel module.
  
  I have blacklisted  intel_ips because of symbols  issues.
  No problems with drm.ko and i915.ko blacklisted and driver vesa.
   
  If I start without kernel parameters or with "i915.modeset=1 video=LVDS-1:1280x800@60e"
  the screen is almost always blank and it requires opening and closing the lid a certain number of times in order to get the screen back.
  
  If I start the kernel with parameters "i915.modeset=1 video=1280x800@60e"
  then the screen is not blank. I guess it is because also the VGA-1 adapter is turned on even if there is not a vga screen connected. Then I have to manually correct the screen resolution.
