I915 did not work whit modset=1

[der-b]

Hello,

i got a new Notebook with an Intel Core i7-3689Y whit a Intel HD 
Graphics 4000. I got a blank screen while booting but I could use ssh. 
This happened each time, when I enabled CONFIG_I915_KMS in the kernel 
config (modeset=1). Setting the option "invert_brightness=1" solved the 
problem.

I attached the "lspci -s 00:002 -nn -v" output.
I use the gentoo kernel 3.10.17.

I hope this helps you a little bit.

Kind regards,

Bernd Lehmann
