Bug Description

On my Asus UX32V (Intel HD4000) the screen stays black after grub. I do not see plymouth nor the login screen. When suspending to ram, and waking up the device the screen works fine. External monitors also work fine (when plugged in before boottime).

This happens at:
linux-image-3.5.0-19-generic
linux-image-3.5.0-18-generic
linux-image-3.5.0-17-generic

but not at

linux-image-3.5.0-10-generic

Everything between is not tested (Reinstalled my system first to make sure I made no configuration errors)

Please note mainline kernels do not contain ubuntu-specific patches and
might thus not provide a true testing ground as it introduces an aditional
variable.

I used the following kernel: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/amd64/linux-image-3.5.0-10-generic/3.5.0-10.10 (64 bit) using this kernel, the issue does not manifest itself.

it seems everything before 3.5.0-17-generic does not have this issue.

I installed every kernel (-10 to -16) and with none of them running the issue was present. -17 came with the Quantal installation and does have the issue. I am not 100% sure I have tested this the correct way ( there may be some other factors) but this might mean that the issue started to appear in 3.5.0-17 which has the following changelog: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/l/linux/linux_3.5.0-17.28/changelog . The log does not seem to contain anything relevant, but I might be overlooking something.

Workaround:

enable the xorg-edgers repository (sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y)

Which gives you, at the time of writing kernel 3.7.0-7, which does not suffer the issue.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.8 kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.
