[Bug 1066883] Re: [Macmini 5, 1] Fatal server error: Can not run in framebuffer mode on reboot

dmesg shows the below output.  plymouth is clearly being stopped by
lightdm (not by /etc/init/plymouth-stop.conf), so we're not hitting a
race in the plymouth jobs.  But after stopping plymouth, lightdm hits
the problem with the X server and exits.

I think this is clearly a problem with either the kernel or with
lightdm.

Bug description:
  Fatal server error: Can not run in framebuffer mode error occurs on the 2nd reboot onwards on a mac with external display.
  The first reboot after a fresh installation is working fine and from the second attempt the desktop fails to start on the standard graphics mode and 'Your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly....' error message is displayed.

  The logs attached are directly from the first reboot.

  A tar file will be added with the logs after the failure.
