Since updating to Linux 3.1 yesterday, I've been having strange problems with the display on my laptop. The first reboot after updating the kernel went normally, but every subsequent boot since then has had problems.
This is a Dell Latitude D620 laptop with the following graphics-related lines in the lspci output:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
During boot, at the stage where it says "Waiting for UDev uevents to be processed", the backlight normally blinks and the display mode changes, presumably due to udev detecting my graphics hardware.
<snip> Same problem here, on an Asus laptop with Intel (945GM) graphics. Still fiddling with it, but I can restore proper operation by starting X then (ctl+alt+fn) moving to a tty. I start X by ssh'ing from another machine. I have another machine with intel (945G) graphics that does not have the problem. But it's not a laptop. Next tests are to remove laptop specific daemons from rc.conf to see if that helps (since both these machines are almost identical in configuration). Rgds, -- Mike Bishop Willow, Alaska
