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 Desktop Packages, 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 Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hi, today I installed an update: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.17.0-1ubuntu4.2 and after GRUB boots my laptop, I get a black screen.
