Bug#700932: [more info] linux-image-3.7-trunk-amd64: VGA output not working if vga-cable connected on boot

["Antonio-M. Corbi Bellot" <antonio.corbi@ua.es>]

Hi kernel list.

I'v been able to read some of the text lines the kernel outputs before
the screen turns black.

I can read something like: "early console in decompress kernel..." and
after that line appear three or more text lines (sorry I can't read
them) and then the (external) screen turns black.

As I told in my first message I see some sign that the hardware (video
card?) is trying to do something (small glitches) in the external
monitor.

I've also noticed that disk activity ceases...the disk light stops
lightning at this very moment.
