hi! on newer kernels, whenever i modprobe i915 my screen goes black. the backlight is still on and the machine continues working but now as a headless system.
by bisection i found the commit that introduced this regression:
885a5fb5b120a5c7e0b3baad7b0feb5a89f76c18 is the first bad commit
commit 885a5fb5b120a5c7e0b3baad7b0feb5a89f76c18

drm/i915: fix pixel color depth setting on eDP
Original DP mode_valid check didn't take pixel color depth into account,
which made one 1600x900 eDP panel's mode check invalid because of
overclock,
but actually this 6bpc panel does can work with x1 lane at 2.7G.
This one
trys to take bpp value properly both in mode validation and mode
setting.

this issue appears on my dell e6510 with intel hd (arrandale) and one
can find many bugreports about the same effect on the e6410 and thinkpad
x200s - all using said platform:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/554569
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/561802
i also can confirm, that when removing the changes from this commit in
the most recent intel_dp.c then my display even works on 2.6.34 :)
cheers
