I gave it a shot, but I must admit I'm a bit lost since I'm straddling between two kernel versions 2.6.38 and 2.6.39. I'm not quite sure where to go. I arrived at git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-oneiric.git.
I installed various kernel builds from the 2.6.39 line. Here are my results: v2.6.39-rc1-natty - broken 2011-04-08-natty - working (daily build from 2011-04-08) v2.6.39-rc3-natty - working I examined the commit messages. I'm going to take a wild guess, but it looks like one of these: 7ccb4a5 drm/i915: Re-enable self-refresh 18b2190 drm/i915: allow 945 to control self refresh (CxSR) automatically 0de009c drm/i915/crt: Remove 0xa0 probe for VGA Folks have been busy on i915 between Ubuntu-2.6.39-0.0 and Ubuntu-2.6.39-0.2, which is where the fix seems to be. Hopefully that helps. -- 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
