Comment 119 for bug 578673

I can't even verify the fix - on my E5410 core i3, the screen doesn't even turn on during boot using 2.6.32-25.42 (however, the boot seems to go fine otherwise). I, like dragilla, use the PAE kernel, I also tried the normal one, but then there was some trouble detecting my hard drive and I couldn't boot at all.

Passing i915.modeset=0 gives me the boot graphics, but I get a kernel panic at some point during boot (flashing keyboard leds). With the maverick backport from kernel-ppa (2.6.35) I can boot, but after suspend/resume the screen is black (with backlight) until power management kills the backlight. At that point I get back graphics when I touch the keyboard or mouse.
