Hi Dan, Good to hear the mainline kernel solved it. Would you be willing to do some additional testing to isolate which specific patch fixed it? If so, the kernel team might be able to backport that fix to include in natty.
Directions for isolating kernel patches via git bisection are documented here for you: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection If you can find a commit where the kernel switches from failing to working, that'll give the kernel guys a strong indication of what needs pulled from upstream to get your system working by default with natty. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => In Progress ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762855 Title: [sandybridge-m-gt2+] Display on external monitor (vga) is black on 13" MacBook Pro 8,1 (x86_64) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
