Hi all,

 I hope this is the right place to raise this issue. I have waited patiently for almost a year but it remains unfixed. I filed the burt here and any information/workaround related to it would be highly appreciated.

 Regards,

Well, if you want to report this bug with upstream here, we pretty much
expect you to test latest git kernel first. If that doesn't help, please
file the bug on bugs.freedesktop.org, see

http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html

We're working on quite a few bugfixes and issues leading to black screens,
but without further details there's not much we can do.

I also have a Fujitsu Lifebook S760 laptop, and video Just Works in 
Gentoo. And it worked from day one, i.e. since February 2011. Thus the 
request to test the latest kernel from git looks rather bogus to me. 
2.6.39 should be sufficient, and my gut feeling is that some other 
package is at fault here.

One obvious difference is that Ubuntu and Fedora (who has a duplicate 
bug) use Plymouth, while Gentoo doesn't. To test the theory, could you 
please remove the "splash vt.handoff=7" parameters from the kernel 
command line?

Tried removing that still boots to a blank screen. Only way to get a grpahical desktop is to have nomodeset.

Thanks for your reply.
