["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Peter Collins, as per http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an
update is available for your BIOS (1.15). If you update to this
following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change
anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Plain Purple then blank screen when booting - Intel 945GM

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  With a fresh install of 13.04 on a Lenovo X60, the installation went
  fine, however when booting up I see a plain purple screen then
  nothing.

  If I close the lid and re-open it simulating a sleep and awake then
  the login screen appears.

  Update "linux-image-3.8.0-19-generic" to "linux-
  image-3.8.0-23-generic" but same problem.

  I have tried adding nomodeset to GRUB which solved this issue although
  the display was to slow to be usable.

  Downloaded and installed "linux-image-3.9.0-030900-generic" which
  seems to have solved the problem but would be nice if it could be
  resolved on the current kernel.
