Bug#496838: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.7.99.901-2 shows black screen, 2:2.7.1-1 works fine



Hi all,

On my up-to-date sid system I'm experiencing the same black screen problem
with the Intel 915M chipset in my IBM Thinkpad. This only happens with the
xserver-xorg-video-intel version from experimental. After downgrading
xserver-xorg-video-intel from experimental to unstable the problem is gone,
so it seems this is only an issue with recent intel driver versions.

Details: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.7.99.901-2 shows a black screen with a
working cursor, while xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.7.1-1 works fine.

I've also tried upgrading libdrm2 and libdrm-intel1 to experimental
(2.4.11+git+20090519+f355ad8-1), but that doesn't change anything compared
to unstable (2.4.11-1), i.e. I still only see a black screen with the intel
driver from experimental, while the version from unstable works fine.
