HP nx7010 here, w/ ATI 8.19.10 KDE (x session) loads but the screen remains blank. Amarok starts normally (but not visibly, of course) and I can kill the session with ctrl+alt+backspace - however, I don't get any image back. Works normally with 8.18.8-r1 and previous drivers. The kernel is version 2.6.14-r2. I tried:

1. updating xorg to 6.8.2-r6 (it doesn't help)

2. putting
Code:
Option   "ForceMonitors"  "notv"

... in the "device" section of xorg.conf (it doesn't help)

3. changing
Code:
 Option "MonitorLayout"              "AUTO, AUTO"

to
Code:
 Option "MonitorLayout"              "TMDS, NONE"


4. setting the following to "no" and back
Code:
   Option "UseInternalAGPGART"         "yes"

in both cases, manually loading agpgart and intel_agp.

Nothing helps. I am starting from 1280x1024 framebuffer console, 8.18.8-r1 and earlier work fine. Let me stress that KDE loads, I just lose my picture. I am using 1680x1050 resolution:
Code:
Modeline "1680x1050" 147.14 1680 1784 1968 2256 1050 1051 1054 1087 +hsync +vsync



Any help is appreciated.

That doesn't help much. Are you using 1680x1050 resolution? If so, modelines would be handy. Also, frequencies for this fu*king LCD panel.
