I've just managed to run EVE on my notebook without this horrible 'black screen' problem I had.
In order to do this you will just need to replace resFace.stuff file with the 3796 edition one. Be sure to make a backup copy of 3805 version in case you need it for the future patching process.
Have fun! 
Ah... in case you don't have this 3796 version of resFace.stuff file (I didn't manage to find it on the 'stuff file download' page here on eve-online.com, so had to do the whole 3550->3582->3796->3805 thing manually to get the desired file), I've put it here for public download: resFace.stuff.3796.rar (17 446 047 bytes, WinRAR archive).
I hope I won't get hurt by CCP for posting this info, because it seems to be the only way for me to play EVE until a new patch for the latest patch for the latest content patch comes out. Anyway, if somebody at CCP thinks it is not good to publish this - let me know and feel free to delete this post.
PS. I have ATI Radeon Mobility with latest Omega ATI drivers here - definitely out of supported video card list for EVE, but I don't have anything else, sorry. Hope it will work for Intel integrated video cards also.
PPS. Ah... and this one: please do post some feedback here if this workaround helped you to get rid of the 'black screen' bug: it will bump the thread and let others know it's working.

Well so far it works for me, wonderful, how did you stumble across this idea, even if it doesn't last long Ive changed to a long skill which is important with patch's causing havoc left right and centre.
Thanks again....

Thanks, works for me also, loads faces and gives show info.
Great customer service on CCP part, leave it up to the customers to repair their own game. Lol maybe they will start farming some coding work out to some of us as well.......

Omega ATI drivers are not (but are indentical to) official ATI drivers and I don't think they are actually required for this fix. I just posted this for more information about my notebook specs (official ATI Catalyst drivers usually can't be installed on notebook computers).
Anyway, I've just edited the post to include the link to www.OmegaDrivers.net web-site if you need them.

But how did you get it installed on your notebook than.
Ati doesnt have ATI mobility drivers thats kind of weird.
Just asking mate

This is exactly what Omega drivers are made for! If you have a notebook - grab them immediately!
Technically speaking, they are the exact copy of the latest ATI/NVidia drivers, but with some INF files unofficially tweaked to accept notebook versions of ATI and NVidia video cards PCI signatures (you know, something like PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4153&SUBSYS_4C501019).

Because this is effectively just a rollback for the resFace.stuff file changes... They don't like to do rollbacks, remember?
An important addition to all users of this temporary solution: you should manually revert resFace.stuff file back to patched one (3805 version) when new patch from CCP comes out - otherwise this version will fail the patching process.
I will now add this important warning to the initial post.

Cant believe my eyes.
What a great advantage these new Omega drivers. Never thought screen could be so sharp.
The drivers they give with the notebook where really crap.
Now the only thing that must be fixed is the crash issue every 10 minutes.
Have fun playing ppl
