Comment 3 Stefan Assmann 2013-11-29 08:23:51 UTC 
Tried to force the intel driver with
Section "Device"
        Driver     "intel"
EndSection
didn't work. Driver doesn't find the hardware.

remove the nomodeset from your kernel command line.
Comment 5 Stefan Assmann 2013-12-02 07:55:17 UTC 
Hi Dave,
thanks for the notice. I wonder why the nomodeset is there in the first place. It must have been placed there during installation as I didn't add it myself.
Comment 6 Dave Airlie 2013-12-02 21:57:36 UTC 
forced text mode or safe video mode install perhaps?
Comment 7 Stefan Assmann 2013-12-03 07:38:42 UTC 
Ah, I've installed with safe video mode IIRC. I thought that shouldn't affect the installed system but obviously I've been mistaken. Thanks a lot Dave.
