Bug Description
With the VGA plugged into the front, I can see the boot up, but instead of finishing at the login prompt, the monitor is blank. Video of this: https:/
WORKAROUND: Use the back VGA port.

Actually my screen was connected on the front VGA connector, therefore:
[ 3.197764] [drm] Connector 1:
[ 3.197770] [drm] VGA-2
[ 3.197778] [drm] DDC: 0x6c 0x6c 0x6c 0x6c 0x6c 0x6c 0x6c 0x6c
[ 3.197785] [drm] Encoders:
[ 3.197791] [drm] CRT2: INTERNAL_DAC2
I just tested the same with Ubuntu 14.04 trusty and the front VGA doesn't show anything. Back VGA works. Will test with 16.04, too.
