Public bug reported: Release: Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) dailies. XOrg version: 1:7.7+1ubuntu4 Intel XOrg driver version: 2:2.21.5-0ubuntu1 ATI XOrg video driver version: 1:7.1.0-0ubuntu2 LightDM version: 1.5.1-0ubuntu2 At boot, my machine has an issue if there is a montor connected to the external VGA port at boot. The issue is infrequent. I am able to work around it by dropping to a TTY and starting LightDM manually through sudo su when I am given the "Unable to detect hardware" dialog, at which point, the machine works perfectly. Whilst the crash happened when trying to start LightDM, I believe (given the symptoms of the bug) that the issue resides in the X Server failing detection of the hardware and the activation of the relevant drivers, but the hardware works fine without the screen attached (aside from an ACPI BIOS bug from HP themselves regarding the backlight). My hardware is a HP TouchSmart tm2-2190sa laptop with a hybrid Intel/ATI graphics system, and the spec for the test machine is available on HP's website. Additional infomration on hardware/system config available at further request, I'm not so sure on what would be relevant, as graphics drivers are not my speciality. I will point out that my rc.local contains the command to disable the ATI chip with vgaswitcheroo, so I believe the issue resides in XOrg itself.
