yes, I get a black screen

the /var/log/Xorg.0.log makes no mention of X--probeonly. here's all it says

(II) intel(0): xf86UnbindGARTMemory:unbind key 7

(II) intel(0): xf86UnbindGARTMemory:unbind key 8

(II) intel(0): xf86UnbindGARTMemory:unbind key 9

(II) intel(0): xf86UnbindGARTMemory:unbind key 10

(II) intel(0): xf86UnbindGARTMemory:unbind key 11

(II) intel(0): xf86UnbindGARTMemory:unbind key 12
(WW) intel(0): drmDropMaster failed : Unknown error: -1
(II) intel(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context  for kernel
(II) intel(0): [drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA 0xc7534000 at 0x286f3000

Thanks,
Geraldine.

    ... does not work, as in, black screen ?

    Might be a driver problem.

    What does "X --probeonly" say in /var/log/Xorg* ?

    Cheers,
