I have following problem

On notebook FujitsuSiemens Lifebook E series i have i915 onboard graphics.
I am using "intel" driver for Xorg

When I start X I have blank screen. On notebook, there is "screen switch" button (Fn+F10). When I press this button once, the screen is even more blank (yes, in this case even back light is off). After second press the X starts and everything works. It also looks like the X is waiting for this. Even if I wait long and than switch the screen it starts from the begining (gray screen than window manager).

Here is my xorg.conf, it works on my Ubuntu install on this notebook


Code:

Section "Device"
   Identifier   "Configured Video Device"
        Driver "intel"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
   Identifier   "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
   Identifier   "Default Screen"
   Monitor      "Configured Monitor"
   Device      "Configured Video Device"
   Subsection "Display"
    Virtual 2680 1050
   EndSubsection
EndSection



Can anybody help please?

Solved by reinstalling using unstable as suggested on IRC (Drivers in stable is said to be buggy)
