Yes, adding "i915.modset=0" to the "kernel..." line allows
2.6.32-16-generic to start graphics successfully on Dell C400.

I had tried "i915.modeset=0 nomodeset" last week, and it had not worked
at that time. I have installed updates several times since then.

I also see that starting without "i915.modeset=0" causes the black
screen to flash white approximately once per second. This is different
than what was previously seen, i.e. black screen only.

How can I make this parameter the default? I have not yet found how to
do that in "info grub".

Where is "i915" documented?
