Thanks, but those all seem to describe black screen on boot problems. The problem you described in your initial bug report sounds different. Fwiw, black screen on boot is a generic symptom that can result from a wide variety of different underlying bugs, and tends to be highly hardware-specific

We're going to be moving natty to its new X stack within the next week or so. Currently this stack is available in xorg-edgers, and our testing is showing it to be quite stable. This includes the Q4 Intel Graphics release, which I think includes some improvements for Arrandale. It may well

Hmm, well that's good news it re-enabled the backlight. That suggests that what we've got queued up will solve this bug. Not sure why it was giving you flak for having the ppa installed. It would complain that way for distro upgrades, but not for normal updates. ** Summary changed: -

jazz, can you provide some links/references for the other problems? Esp. if you know of bug reports against other distros (or upstream), that could be extremely helpful in finding a resolution for this. [Setting to importance high since it sounds like it might be a relatively widespread issue,

Just noticed this is an Arrandale graphics card. Could well be just incomplete support for the card. I think this needs to be re-tested against the Q4 Intel graphics release and then if it still happens there, forward it upstream. Stay tuned, we're still a week or two away from having that
