The following commit causes screen to become blank. Upon boot up, screen
becomes blank (monitor can't sync to pc) with i915 compiled in the
kernel. With i915 as module, system boots up fine, but becomes blank as
soon as the module is loaded.
Reverting it solves the problem. Problem only happens only Dell Optiplex
780 with external LCD. But, works fine on Lenovo X201s internal LCD.
Thanks,
Jeff

drm/i915: Don't enable pipe/plane/VCO early (wait for DPMS on).
The existing code handling the DPMS ON event is much more careful to
ensure that these registers are enabled according to strict sequencing
requirements. Enabling these early in mode_set simply defeats that.

I imagine this is the same as the problem reported here:

Nick,
That right. It's the same problem.
Thanks,
