I tried this again after an update to today's squeeze, with kernel
2.6.32-29 and xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.13.0-5. Unfortunately, the problem remains unchanged: the screen turns black when the frame buffer is switched on, and there is no way to get a text console let alone X. I also tried with the current kernel from experimental: 2.6.37-rc7. That seems to work nicely. I didn't encounter any serious problems after about an hour of playing around with it. In particular, the X server freezes I reported above with the 2.6.36 kernel appear to have gone. As this bug is not ranked important enough to be fixed in squeeze, and it already is fixed in post-squeeze, feel free to close this bug report. Thank you guys for your help! Oliver |
