Public bug reported: System: Dell Precision M4700. The display in the Precise installer works fine, but after rebooting, screen can't display anything. Append "nomodeset" to kernel can make screen display at minimal resolution. After installing nvidia-experimental-310.14-0ubuntu0.3, the display works fine.
