I no longer get a blank screen after boot but flicker got more
aggressive during boot (it calms down after I've logged in). I see
tons of these in dmesg that don't appear with 2.6.39-rc1:

[   10.175843] [drm:intel_update_fbc],
[   10.183100] [drm:i915_driver_irq_handler], pipe A underrun
[   10.185085] [drm:i915_driver_irq_handler], pipe A underrun
[   10.186082] [drm:i915_driver_irq_handler], pipe A underrun
[   10.187087] [drm:i915_driver_irq_handler], pipe A underrun
[   10.189082] [drm:i915_driver_irq_handler], pipe A underrun
[   10.190085] [drm:i915_driver_irq_handler], pipe A underrun

I've attached the full dmesg.
