Comment 8 for bug 605176

there has been a lot of coding/testing with these Intel-chipsets for E6510.

In this (very long) threads: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/600453 and https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29278 it seems we finally have a HD screen working. With a Natty nightly and the kernel from #185 a lot of intel/screen stuff seemed to be fixed.

Sleeping and resuming is now also working with that kernel.

For me it makes it possible to use ubunto on my E6510 (because before that the screen was just black)., I was still on Lucid with an old kernel which was working.

It seems they will backport the fix to other ubuntu versions, please try and see if this helps. I'm eager to see the results from that (don't know how to monitor the fact that that fix is applied to a kernel version ....)

By the way: there was a difference between E6510 dells with integrated Intel chips versus the NVIDIA ones.
