Problem originally reported on Dell e6510 (bug # 29728). Kernel 2.6.38-rc3 reverts to pre-2.6.38 behavior, reverting to the "black screen" after inteldrmfb. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot kernel 2.6.38-rc3-3.1 on a Intel i3 or i5 with integrated graphics 2. 3. Actual Results: Results in the previously (2.6.34, .36 and .37 kernel) experienced "black screen" Expected Results: Expected (at least) the behavior exhibited by kernels 2.6.38-rc1 and -rc2. Although the graphics transition flickered for a moment, the display continued to operate in correct form (full geometry, and not black). Problem appears to be a regression.
