This issue is a kernel mode settings (KMS) issue. Unfortunately the fix
in 9.04 didn't get into the KMS code.
Based on other reports & video posted here:
- Once KMS kicks in with Dell Studio 15 machines with 965 graphics &
Aou panel you end up with a white screen.
* No usplash screen
* No X screen
- By disabling KMS using "nomodeset" on command line , and forcing
Xorg to use vesa you can then use the card.
