has the i915 "black screen" boot issue returned?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  after suffering through the i915 "black screen" issue for a while,
it was a relief that it finally seemed to be resolved with 2.6.37 or
something in tha vicinity.  but i just built and booted a 2.6.38-rc2+
kernel on my ubuntu 10.10 system and it once again boots to a black
screen.

  is this a new known issue?  has anyone else seen this?
