Title:
[g45] Black screen on boot acer travelmate 5735Z, intel gma 4500mh
Status in X.org xf86-video-intel:
Invalid
Bug description:
There is a problem with the intel driver kms in Natty which causes the
screen's backlight to switch off just after leaving the grub screen. Problem
does not exist with 10.10 but exists with virtually every other recent distro
out there (Opensuse 11.2 - 11.4, Fedora etc) which leads me to believe it's a
bug inherited from the upstream that was fixed in maverick.
The only way to boot the laptop successfully is by adding the nomodeset
option, which unfortunately results in no 3D nor the correct resolution.
I am currently back to maverick but I would love to use natty asap so thanks
for resolving the bug.
