Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" has the 2.6.38 kernel, so it includes the patch I 
mentioned in comment #93.  This patch is also mentioned in comment 2 at 
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32748
I'm not sure if Natty includes the later patch mentioned in comments 3 and 4 at 
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32748
This is probably why your machine boots OK (your 1.), unlike the original 
reporter of this Launchpad bug and comment #12.

For your 2. and 3. problems of the screen going black after changing the
settings and after suspending and after connecting an external monitor,
these are probably a different bug/s than this bug and should be
reported separately, but make sure you search Launchpad for the same
problem/s on the same hardware before doing that. I'm not aware of any
fixes for these problems on this hardware, but if any exist you will
need to use a newer kernel.  While some other people have reported in
other Launchpad bugs that they have successfully patched their kernel,
you best option would be to use a kernel from the Ubuntu kernel PPA at
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

I have looked at the attachment
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=41941 but could not see
the variable you refer too.  Can you provide more details?
