Title:
  Ubuntu 12.04.3: black screen on PB Easynote and Intel GMA 4500M video
  adapter

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I recognize the problem over here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1047483 on a Packard Bell Easynote TK36-AV-105. 
  Specs:
  http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/267864/packard-bell-easynote-tk36-av-105.html#tab:info

  This laptop also contains a Integrated Intel GMA4500.

  The black screen first appears in Ubuntu 11.04 and all verions
  released since 11.04 (kernel 3.x?). There is a visual with bootoption
  nomodeset.

  See attachement.
