           Summary: i915 module turns the screen black till X starts
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE 12.1
           Version: Final
          Platform: i586

Every time the i915 module is loaded (on boot or resume from hibernation) the
screen become black till the X server launches.

My computer is Toshiba Satellite L300-11E.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn on computer (better with splash=verbose) and wait for messages.
2. The kernel messages are going well, but as soon as i915 is loaded the screen
becomes black till xdm (kdm,...) appears.

As a control experiment you may turn set e.g. "nomodeset", which prevents
loading the i915 module. In this case you can see all systemd/sysinit messages.
Actual Results:  
The screen turns black till *dm launches.

Expected Results:  
Systemd/sysinit messages or a splash screen depending on the "splash"
parameter.

By the way I think that this problem can be related with the problem that many
icons and decoration elements turn black after hibernate/resume and sometimes
even after screensaver launch.
