Greetings, all. I'm fairly exhausted from searching on this issue for the past day and haven't made much headway. I'll spare everyone the long version and jump to a few bulleted observations:
Dell Studio 1555 (Laptop), Intel 15.6" LCD at 1366x768 Native Resolution.
Intel 4500 Integrated Graphics Card
Initially did an upgrade from 9.04 (7 hour download!) but have since backed up /home and performed a fresh install.
LCD will not display anything after GRUB, but backlight stays on.
Only will display to external monitor through VGA port.
Had no problems with 9.04. Played with Fedora 11 installations, as well. It appears to me that I only have issues with the kernel version is 2.6.29 and above.
Cannot boot to X in LiveCD of Ubuntu 9.10. (CAN boot to X in 9.04 LiveCD)
When viewing Display configuration from the external monitor, both VGA1 and LVDS1 appear as the same monitor on Identification (both go to external LCD) even though the configurations are different.
I appreciate in help in advance. I'll be happy to provide any information to help troubleshoot.
