Please provide a kernel log at least.

Comment 2 Patrick Schwalm 2009-12-23 05:10:08 UTC

I really would like, but its not that easy with a copmlete blank screen...

Any recommendations how I could get one?

I can't get even to a tty, screen gets blank before...

Comment 3 Maarten Maathuis 2009-12-23 05:58:46 UTC

ssh if it lives long enough, otherwise netconsole.

Thx for your attention, heres (little shortened) kernel.log

The problem is known.  For whatever reason the manufacturer has decided to not provide any direct way to access the display's EDID and we need to ask the SBIOS to retrieve it for us.

Work to correct this is being done at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=536923.  Once fixes have been confirmed, the patches will get upstreamed.

This should be fixed now.
Patrick, can you confirm this?
