Bug Description

Installation and booting is shown correctly on monitor when connected to servers (a Dell PowerEdge 1850) front VGA connector. However after the boot process is completed and the login prompt should show up, the monitor doesn't display anything anymore (black) - as if there is no input.

On dmesg I found the following errors:

Same problem after running dist-upgrade. I see the login prompt for around 1 second before it disappears.
