[Bug 797537] [NEW] Natty 11.04 Gateway NV79 BACKLIGHT TURNED OFF DURING BOOT

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

BUG creeped into Maverick 10.10; wasn't in Lucid 10.04. Still exists in Natty 11.04 (can be verified with Natty distribution CD).
During boot sequence, display backlight is turned off. Also occurs when waking up from suspend. Graphics are being output but cannot be seen because backlight is off.  Plugging in an external monitor and setting to mirror displays turns on the backlight. (which will go off again upon suspend). Seems related to i915 chip settings.

same bug referenced in detail in: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/685727  and
