What are you doing, when you get the blank screen? Are you booting (if so, try to boot with i915.modeset=0 on the kernel cmdline to make sure, it is working in text-mode) or are you getting the blank screen only after starting X? If there is a kernel-problem, you could try to debug it with netconsole[2] or a serial-console. If it is "only" a graphics-problem, you could try to run an sshd and try to log in remotely. Or maybe in that case the sysrq-keys[1] do work... Or try another kernel (newer or older). i'm shure there are more ways to debug this problem, but that is what i can think of, offhand.... Sincerly, Florian p.s.: i added the intel-gfx mailinglist on the cc'list [1] http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sysrq.txt [2] http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. > Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? >> A: Top-posting. >>> Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?
