[Bug 891571] [NEW] blank screen appears after a few seconds

 

Public bug reported:

after upgrading from ubuntu 10.10 > 11.04 > 11.10 the laptop acer 5336 showed the grubloader after a few seconds the screen went blank. ubuntu loaded normaly when i conntected a external monitor was this one working. via screens i 'closed' the laptopscreen and turned it on again. now the laptopscreen as image. i adjusted the grubfile:  it looks like this:
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
#GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i915.modeset=0 quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux"
#GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi=Linux"

now the laptop startś up showing the grubmanager, a few seconds a purple screen and turns to blank. When i hit the control keys i get the backlight on. 
I tried several solutions, but nothing was a final solution. 
In ubuntu 10.10 everything works fine.
