I can confirm this problem on a Dell Latitude E5500. After booting up
all I can see are some left-scrolling remains of the text console. I can
switch to a text vt which then works normally but would really prefer to
have a working graphical desktop.
Here is some info about the PCI devices in the Dell Latitude E5500:
