Comment 3 Joerg Skottke 2012-04-13 01:10:50 UTC 
After playing around with the kernel boot options i found that removing the option "nomodeset" fixes the problem.

Changing this in /etc/default/grub seems to be a usable workaround.

we don't add nomodeset unless you do something to make it get added.
