Hardware information
In the last three weeks I've narrowed down the bug described in the
subject through Ubuntu launchpad. My new Laptop (Acer Aspire V5-573G)
with new Haswell CPU shows a black screen on reboot because the
brightness is on zero level. I verified this behaviour with the latest
mainline kernel from
<a href="http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-trusty/">http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-trusty/</a>
I have done the bisect process and tracked the bug down to the following
commit.
For explanation:
good commit means: The laptop starts with display brightness on full
power, but low(er) resolution and the Fn+ keys are not working
bad commit means: The laptop starts with black display (0 brightness),
Fn+ keys are working and you can level up the brightness trough the
Fn+ keys. The resolution is the native LCD hardware display resolution
Bisect output:
70b12bb415463c1bd146b67c5fbf6784fd046ad9 is the first bad commit
commit 70b12bb415463c1bd146b67c5fbf6784fd046ad9

drm/i915: promote Haswell to full support
Since it should be working a little bit better now.

I've also searched the LKML and maybe this bug could be in conjunction
