I installed the 3.2 kernel from the future repository. When I boot the resolution changes to what appears to be the correct resolution. This is new and initially gave me hope. But about halfway through the boot sequence, the screen goes blank. At that point syslog and kern.log stop recording. No error is reported.
The funny thing is that I can ssh into the system from an external computer, login and do anything I need to do from a terminal. |

I just noticed the following error in my kern.log
:: Code :: Firmware Bug: ACPI: No _BQC method, cannot determine initial brightnessI suspect now that this is the problem. |

Some good news. I have achieved a perfect screen setup. But the screen still goes blank on boot. If I let it sit for several minutes it comes on. What I have observed is that the screen is not consistently blank. It appears to blink ever so faintly. And it does eventually turn on. It is as though some process is looping through various settings until it finally gets it right. I have looked in syslog and dmesg.log but haven't been able to spot what's going on yet. I feel that I'm getting close to a permanent solution.
