There are billions of ways you can end up with a black screen, so can't tell.

Please file a bug report against DRI -> DRM(Intel) on
bugs.freedesktop.org with a clear description of how things fail and
all the usual details about your hw.

Also, please _always_ cc and appropriate mailing list when poking your
maintainer, he might be lazy, busy, drunken or on vacation ;-)

Cheers, Daniel

Thanks.

I didn't know what the correct mailing list was, nor the right bug
tracker. I have as such, made two bugs on that bugzilla describing the
issues. Of course, I'm happy to provide more information and time
debugging and solving it.
