For me, 2.6.38-rc2 and rc3 from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ is working OK for me. I get screens on both monitors (internal and external), or only internal if I don't have external monitor connected. I have HP Elitebook 8440p with Intel graphic card.
But I have also installed git Intel driver from this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~glasen/+archive/intel-driver and x-updates from here https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates This changed how xrandr see internal display. It is no longer DP1, it is eDP1 now, and external is VGA1. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/600453 Title: [arrandale] [i915] DELL E6510: blank screen on boot (Intel GPU) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
