Sony PCG-SRX51P, with Intel 810 graphics.
A clean installation of 11.10 32-bit, wiping out the previously correctly working Xubuntu 10.04 installation.
The boot splash screen is corrupted (appears to be text-mode but with the >128 ASCII-code box drawing characters). Once at the X/Unity log-in prompt switching to any of the the virtual consoles (tty1-6) the consoles are also corrupted and impossible to read.
The best description of what is seen is that spaces are spaces, but characters are drawn outline-shadowed (like HTML inset/outset table borders) and drawn mirrored through the Y axis. E.g. a "b" looks like a "d". Making out the characters is extremely difficult unless you know what to expect, such as when typing username at the console log-in prompt.
I noticed the kernel reports:
Console: colour dummy console 80x25
instead of what I'd expect:
Console: colour VGA+ 80x25
Also, it seems the efifb driver creates a framebuffer device later although I'm not sure if it is responsible for the corrupted display.
More likely is that GRUB leaves the video chipset in an unexpected mode.

WORKAROUND: The bug can be fixed by adding in /etc/default/grub :
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text
However, this is a local workaround. The blueprint refers to the file "/boot/grub/gfxblacklist" which is generated by a script in the package "grub-gfxpayload-lists". The file contains PCI IDs of video devices that GRUB should not leave in graphics mode. These are declared in /usr/share/grub-gfxpayload-lists/blacklist/ . The attached patch adds a new file "20_intel" to the blacklisted devices in the package.
If adding it manually to a system, place it in the /usr/share/grub-gfxpayload-lists/blacklist/ directory. To add the new device to /boot/grub/gfxblacklist.txt :
sudo update-grub-gfxpayload
