Acer 5635Z no internal display after bootup - external monitor working

[alpha-centauri]

Update:

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/fedora/+source/linux/+bug/425165

Same bug.

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10

Hardware: acer 5635Z - 442g25 notebook

Error: Seeing Boot-up screen, but after that, monitor is just black. If I attach external monitor, I can see GNOME working fine...

I did:

sudo apt-get install update / upgrade

But did not solve the error. Error is persistend after reboot. I can exclude harware issues, internal monitor is working in BIOS.

lshw also states an "display unclaimed"

Thanks for trying to make ubuntu better.

As you have pointed out this report is a duplicate of bug 425165 so I am marking it as such.

As I have said in several comments of bug 425165, this has already been fixed in lucid. So the future looks bright for us owners of the 5635Z :-) .
