On a second machine (with same problem), I just booted up 2.6.32-16 kernel, and 
the problem (dead screen) happened.
But having said that, that -16 kernel was installed on 3/13/2010, per 
/var/log/apt/history.log  and I did not have the problem then.
The problem occurred about March 23rd after an update(a large one, over hundred 
packages).
I don't have the -17, or -18 kernel. But if I remember correctly, once the 
problem occurred, booting up any
older kernel didn't fix anything. And isn't the problem more in the 
xserver-xorg-video-intel (2.9.1-1ubuntu13, 2.9.1-1ubuntu16), package
rather than the kernel?
(xserver-xorg-video-intel did get upgraded on 3.23.2010)

(doing the drm.debug=0x04 next. As soon as I figure out how to do that.)
