 This is hrev 47865 on a thinkpad x230 with intel HD 4000 graphics.

 Two thirds or three quarters of the time this machine has a black screen
 on boot (with the intel driver). The rest of the time it boots normally
 and has the correct resolution etc.

 The attached syslog is from 2 boots - the first exhibited the problem
 while the second was a successful boot.

 More info:
 Changing display settings once booted can also cause the same issue
 (screen goes black to change modes and the image doesn't come back). This
 is mostly a problem with software that changes the screen mode itself
 (like SDL apps), since they change without a "return to previous settings"
 timeout. Actually, SDL apps seem to change the mode to the same as it
 already is for some reason, but I know the mode has changed because of the
 flash to a black screen and then back again, and afterwards switching
 desktops will cause the screen to turn briefly black then come back,
 unless I use screen preferences and apply to all desktops.
