Did what you asked re testing the latest mainline kernel but got an 
unrecoverable fatal error when running "dpkg" regarding "libcairo-perl" 
- see log below...

Title:
  1002:9715 [Acer Aspire X3450] HDMI not working after update to linux
  image 3.8.0.31.46

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Operating System: Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit
  Hardware: Acer Aspire x3450 AMD Athlon II X2 220 Processor x 2; Graphics Gallium 0.4 on AMD RS880; Monitor Samsung Syncmaster P2250.
  Problem/Bug: HDMI video output from pc to Samsung Syncmaster P2250 via HDMI/DVI adaptor cable no longer works after Ubuntu's Software Updater updated my system from linux-image 3.8.0.30.44 to 3.8.0.31.46.
  I get an initial purple screen, without the Ubuntu logo, then absolutely nothing.
  Had to revert to old style analogue connection to make my system useable.
