I'm having the same problem with the L322X. But this is a fresh install
of 12.03. I was able to get the screen to work by turning off safe boot
mode, then holding down F12 during boot and selecting ubuntu. Not sure
why that would make a difference but I tried it several times. I'd be
curious if this works for you.

Title:
  Black screen on Dell XPS 13 (L322X) with Ubuntu Gnome 13.10 x64 live
  media

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I've booted from a live USB media of Ubuntu Gnome 13.10 on my Dell XPS 13 (L322X) and the laptop screen is just black. Nothin happens if I press the fn key to adjust brightness.
  I've connected an external monitor and the desktop is there, up and running (I'm using that session to report this bug right now).
  On the same laptop, by upgrading from Raring (and staying with kernel 3.8) the laptop screen and brigthness adjustment works fine.
