By the way I am not sure if it's related: on booting backlight of the LCD (of the notebook) is always set to minimal during the boot at one moment, barely visible (but surely I can use the keyboard Fn + corresponding key to increase to a readable level). It was also the situation with the previous ubuntu version ... Also I am using an external monitor through the VGA connector connected, till logging in, the login is presented on the notbook's own LCD (with that dimmed backlight ...) the external monitor has no signal at all till the login screen appears after that only an ubuntu logo is shown in front of my background picture. After logging in, the configured situation works, ie the internal LCD of the notebook goes off, and I can use the external monitor. In case of shutting the system down, the notebook's internal LCD turns on with that very dimmed backlight till the machine powers off completely. However this behaviour was more or less the same, now my current problem that X doesn't seem to start at all, which was not the case before.
