[Bug 1215441] [NEW] Screen blank or shaking if boot without nomodeset

 

Public bug reported:

Booting with kernel 3.2.0-29 works normally. After upgrading to 3.2.0-52
the screen started shaking erratically and it was very hard to make out
anything on it. Adding the "nomodeset" parameter to boot work as a
workaround but also seems to make X.org use the vesa driver instead of
intel -> slower desktop.
