        <pre>The model of my laptop is Acer V7-481 which comes with an [B]i3-3227U[/B] CPU
and [B]NO[/B] graphic card.

When I was installing ubuntu 12.04 for the first time, the laptop booted up in
a black screen

The only solution to this is to add a boot parameter nomodeset or something to
disable the KMS.

Other solutions I found are useless, including acpi related and adjust the
backlight using shortcuts etc.


Now, my laptop can ONLY boot with NOMODESET but I don't think the integrated
graphic card is functioning normally.

NOTE:This happens on distros that doesn't have a GUI

1. I cannot connect to a second monitor via HDMI and Display Port
2. unity is running in 2d mode
3. can't use 3d hardware acceleration
4. cannot change backlight with shortcuts

The back light is on without nomodeset and can be adjusted by keyboard shortcut

however, with nomodest, I can't change the back light.
