I don't personally own this laptop, but I just finished helping a relative and here is what I've found.
1. In his setup it's a kernel update, using the older kernel works. Can you do the same? (3.2.0-24-generic vs. 3.2.0-32-generic) 2. It appears to be the exact same issue with 12.10. He can't even boot to a 12.10 install media. I will attach the 2 dmesg from both kernels. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069574 Title: Intel graphics card driver update causes black screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1069574/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
