This issue is a kernel mode settings (KMS) issue. Unfortunately the fix in 9.04 didn't get into the KMS code.

Based on other reports & video posted here:
          - Once KMS kicks in with Dell Studio 15 machines with 965 graphics & Aou panel you end up with a white screen.
             * No usplash screen
             * No X screen

          - By disabling KMS using "nomodeset" on command line , and forcing Xorg to use vesa you can then use the card.
