Description henk 2010-08-02 22:13:28 UTC
On my Dell E6510 I get a black screen as soon as the i915 KMS module is loaded.
Kernel 2.6.23-rc6 did not have this problem.

After some investigation, I found out that this patch introduced the problem:

I assume 2.6.23-rc6 was a typo.

I marked it as a regression.

Jesse, you broke henk's computer :)
Comment 2 Jesse Barnes 2010-08-02 22:38:08 UTC
Sigh.  Fix one 6510, break another.  I've really got to get one of these machines...
Comment 3 henk 2010-08-02 22:49:46 UTC
This machine gives me some headaches too. If you want me to test some patches or if you need more information, please let me know.

Reverting the aforementioned commit also helps on my Dell latitude E6410 (Core i7 620M with integrated graphics controller [8086:0046]). I
didn't have any problem like this one with all kernels I previously tried (up to
2.6.35-rc4). Today, I switched to drm-core-next to get VGA to work (see
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29005), got the aforementioned
blank screen, and fixed it by reverting the above patch.
