just to clarify, i am using a fresh install of intrepid onto a blank hard drive. in the current setup, i've made no alterations to the xorg conf file or any other setting whatsoever.

since my system is not a laptop but a small desktop, i have some troubleshooting options. for example, if i disconnect the lcd monitor from the dvi port and instead connect an analog vga monitor it does work. i think this relates to some comment i've read about the bug being a failure to detect that the digital monitor is present and forcing analog out only.

the way i maintain and update this system is to use remote desktop to login to it from another machine but that is only to apply updates in hope that one day it gets fixed. overall, having a computer without a working display is a deal breaker for me on intrepid.
