[Bug 1224019] [NEW] Nothing displayed on screen until login screen

[Marius-andreiana]

Public bug reported:

On ThinkPad W530, after BIOS details, nothing is displayed until login screen.
Booting works, including entering password for an encrypted partition (but nothing is shown on screen).

13.04 works fine.
