Bug#473838: xserver-xorg-video-intel: Blank screen with intel driver 2.3-rc2

[Soenke <s.huels@gmx.net>]

Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.2.99.902-1
Severity: important

Hi everyone!

Sorry for submitting this report twice, I had my from address wrong on the
first one.

Since updating xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.2.99.901-1 (2.3-rc1) to
xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.2.99.902-1 (2.3-rc2), I get a blank screen (no
backlight, no picture) on X start-up. This happens with kdm as well as startx.
SSH to the machine is possible. Killing kdm/Xorg, doing vbetool post and
restarting X with a working driver gets me a working X-session.

I bisected the 2.3-branch between rc1 and rc2 which yielded:

I haven't used git that much before, hope I got it right.
