monitor not active after boot (was Re: Merge window closed: v2.6.19-rc1)

[Olaf Hering]

If my monitor is off during boot and I turn it on once KDE is fully
started, the screen remains black. If it stays on during boot, X will
work ok. This happens on a G5 with ' nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600] (rev a2)'
The i2c errors are new.
