Public bug reported:

After upgrading from karmic to lucid my laptop turns off its lcd panel
early during boot, after which I cannot figure out a way to turn it back
on. X starts (I can hear the gdm drums and log in blindly), I can
ctrl+alt+f1 out of X and alt+f7 back into X, but during all this I get
no output on the screen. Blacklisting the viafb module gives me a
garbled framebuffer. Blacklisting vga16fb too makes everything work.

Fixing this is a little annoying because just disabling X still does not
give you a working shell (I used a rescue cd to edit
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf). So it might be nice to fix this before
lucid is released, even if it involves disabling viafb on more systems
than strictly necessary.

I'd be happy to test any patched kernel images that might avoid this
bug.
