Bug Description
== Quantal SRU Justification ==
A regression was discovered while testing HP SL4545 G7 systems with the recent 3.5.0-22.34 Quantal kernel. The regression results in a failure to display a login screen/prompt upon booting. Booting into a previous 3.5.0-17.28 Quantal kernel confirms the issue does not exist. This issue was bisected and it was determined the following commit introduced the regression:
commit 83325d072185899
Author: Egbert Eich <email address hidden>
Date: Wed Oct 24 18:29:49 2012 +0200
DRM/Radeon: Fix Load Detection on legacy primary DAC.
== Fix ==
After additional testing, it was then confirmed that the following upstream commit (which has also been CC'd to stable) resolves the issue:
commit 51861d4eebc2ddc
Author: Jerome Glisse <email address hidden>
Date: Tue Jan 8 18:41:01 2013 -0500
radeon/kms: force rn50 chip to always report connected on analog output
== Test Case ==
Boot eg. the 3.5.0-22.34 Quantal kernel on an HP SL4545 G7 system and confirm the login screen/prompt is *not* displayed and ssh'ing into the system one can see the following message in dmesg output:
[ 5.848056] No connectors reported connected with modes
[ 5.848059] [drm] Cannot find any crtc or sizes - going 1024x768
Boot a kernel with commit 51861d4e applied on an HP SL4545 G7 system and confirm the login screen/prompt is displayed and the above message is not seen in dmesg output.

Issue Description:
Install Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail or 12.04.2 and reboot the system. Login screen does not appear and video shows as disconnected in management integrated remote console. As well no login in prompt on the server console. But we can ssh to the ssh. 12.10 Quantal works fine without any issue.
Workaround: Boot the system with nomodeset kernel parameter and we can see the login screen. This server has radeon driver for graphics.
