after fresh installation of Linux Mint XFCE 11 (or Lubuntu 11.04) on
Acer Travelmate 240 screen stays blank after boot

solution:
$ sudo nano /etc/default/grub
add i915.modeset=0 in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT (nomodeset is working too)
(source:

)

I get terrible display glitches on boot (bios logo and previous login
screen with lots of random noise => uncleared graphics memory?)

setpci and acpi_osi = Linux + backlight did not work for me
