I have a Dell Latitude E6510 with a 1920x1080 screen, Core i7 graphics, and use late KMS. When switching to this resolution, the screen turns, well, sometimes black, sometimes white, and sometimes striped for probably about a second, but then everything goes back to normal, continuing to show the boot messages. So I would suspect this is something different from what you're seeing. I expect it to be one of those glitches that will get ironed out over time, given that this screen configuration started to get supported only in the 2.6.38 kernel and that they were really struggling to get it to work. Cheers, Norbert
