Comment 39 for bug 919350

I don't know if the issue is the same or not, but on my Asus W5G00AE:

- I had the issue described in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/872652

- Updated to kernel 3.0.0-15 using the update manager.

After grub, the screen is black, then I get some very thin vertical lines all over the screen, which slowly fade to black, leaving me with a black screen and no login menu.

Tried the 3.0.0-17 kernel proposed here, but without any luck: the result is the same as with 15.

I therefore have:

- kernel 14 working, but with the bug #872652 (backlight does not work after resuming from screensaver)
- kernel 15 and 17 not booting up, yielding thin white vertical lines for a couple of seconds, which fade to black
