[Even Onsager <even.onsager@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your response. I haven't tried every kernel, but it was
definitely fine on Ubuntu-Gnome 13.04, and in the report linked above
another user says this: "I booted with kernel 3.11.0 which is the
earliest I found that exhibits this problem." A Fedora user -
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/29186/black-screen-after-upgrade-
to-kernel-310/ - seems to suggest that it happened earlier, though, but
obviously after the 3.8 kernel I was using with Raring.

I'm a n00b, relatively speaking, and I have neither time nor inclination
to test all of them just to find out, but I'll test the newest one
tomorrow per your instructions. I need access to an external monitor to
be able to boot at all, and I don't have one at home.

Also, strangely, the internal monitor started working again after
disabling and re-enabling it in Gnome's system settings. It did not
survive reboot or even suspend (which froze the session), however, so
it's not the quick workaround I was hoping for.
