Yes, adding "i915.modset=0" to the "kernel..." line allows 2.6.32-16-generic to start graphics successfully on Dell C400.
I had tried "i915.modeset=0 nomodeset" last week, and it had not worked at that time. I have installed updates several times since then.
I also see that starting without "i915.modeset=0" causes the black screen to flash white approximately once per second. This is different than what was previously seen, i.e. black screen only.
How can I make this parameter the default? I have not yet found how to do that in "info grub".
Where is "i915" documented?
