Subject: Black screen with gma500_gfx on 3.6.2

Hi,
when switching from psb_gfx (3.2) to 3.6.2 (or 3.7 as of
2474542f64432398f503373f53bdf620491bcfa8) I'm getting a black screen on
a Axiomtek SBC84826 board with a HP 2310ti attached via VGA.

When using CONFIG_STUB_POULSBO=y I do get a console but when I unbind
the driver and attach gma500_gfx like 

echo 0000\:02\:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:02\:00.0/driver/unbind
echo 0000\:02\:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/gma500/bind 

the display stays black. dmesg has:

[  688.779860] gma500 0000:00:02.0: setting latency timer to 64
[  688.805968] acpi device:04: registered as cooling_device0

[  689.950627] [drm] Initialized gma500 1.0.0 2011-06-06 for 0000:00:02.0 on minor 0

Besides the VGA the driver detects a LVDS as well although there's none
attached (the board does have a connector for it though):

# grep -l ^connected /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-*/status
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-LVDS-1/status
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-VGA-1/status

It also states that both ports are disabled:

# cat   /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-*/enabled
disabled
disabled

I didn't find a way to enable any of these ports via sysfs and X.org's
modesetting driver fails either. Any pointers on howto debug this
further are greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
