Hi, I have the same problem with a Dell Vostro 3300, i3 processor, Intel
integrated graphic controller.

I have this issue since June that I bought my Dell. The problem appears with my Acer
projector and also with a new Packard Bell flat screen, only that with this last one
sometimes the image flicker and sometimes doesn't appear, just I get a blank screen.

I was looking for on internet and there are a lot of reports of this problem, not
only with Dell also with other brands. Tthere is a guy that says that he have a solution but to apply it he
suggest to download and install a special 2.6 kernel version , I don't like a
lot the idea, this is the link:

Could be possible that it's a solution?

I'm working with the latest kernel that I can download from the update manager: :

Release 10.10 (maverick)
Kernel Linux 2.6.35-22-generic
GNOME 2.32.0

If you need more information, just let me know. I'm relatively newby in linux
but I have a lot of years in IT.

Regards.
