Please provide a kernel log at least.

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 5 Ben Skeggs 2009-12-23 09:05:54 UTC 
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?
