Title:
  No internal display in Saucy

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am able to boot "try without installing" from the daily image for Saucy, but the internal display never shows anything but a blank screen.
  My computer is an Acer S7 laptop with intel HD4000 graphics.

  I am booting in EFI mode, and the computer successfully boots because
  I can hear the Ubuntu volume change sounds when I hit the volume
  up/down buttons, and when I then attach an external HDMI monitor I can
  see a desktop.  The backlight on the internal display is on (I can see
  it glowing) but the internal screen is completely blank.  Using the
  hotkey I can turn the backlight on/off.  "Settings/Displays" shows
  "Built-in Display" as active and positioned next to external HDMI
  monitor.

  If I boot in legacy mode, the internal display works.  I have
  previously installed Ubuntu 13.04 on the same laptop in EFI mode
  without issues.

  Strangely the internal display is not detected as LVDS, as xrandr
  gives this output:
