After I start immediately the X server, the screen was visible but only in 800x600 resolution. I tried to change it, but there is no other modes available. So I get back to console and try s-c-d, then start again X. The backlight went off again, so I returned to the original problem. I tried to manually edit the xorg.conf, but the result is the same blank screen. I think that the problem is depending by the resolution. Any clue?
