 After 14 builds (never tought that PXE and Core2Quad were so
useful!!).... the bad commit is:

01c66889c14aa163c49355b3be2ccfb214500599 is the first bad commit

    drm/i915: Add ACPI OpRegion support for Ironlake
   
    Add the support of ACPI opregion on Ironlake so that the backlight
    brightness can be adjusted by using ACPI interface
       >/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness

The problem is *half*-solved...
connecting by ssh (as root) and typing
# echo -n 10 >/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
revives the screen.
Starting X gives me a fully working KWin compositing (with OpenGL)
I will temporarily put this line in an init script, but I think that
this bug must be solved as soon as possible!
Another question:
How can I be sure that the ATI gpu isn't wasting power while PC is
booted in Linux?
Best regards,
