Comment 34 for bug 518623

Hardware: Laptop: MiTac 8615P with chipset: VIA VN896
Software:Ubuntu 10.04, the latest release.
Video driver: 1:0.2.904+svn827-1

My laptop freeze while booting, only a black screen is all I can see.
The Ubuntu boot logo appears the left-down corner of the screen, so
probably the resolution is much bigger than required.
If an external monitor is connected to my laptop the system stand up
well, but only the external monitor works properly nevertheless the
laptop screen stills black.
Using Debian 6 testing squeeze alpha 1 (wherein the kernel is also
2.6.32 and video driver) works fine via LiveCD without problems.
