Captain Chaos, ouf my bad. I was scanning for "VGA compatible controller" and the nvidia card is "3D controller" (first time I've seen it this way).
Despite this, in Raring with stock Ubuntu kernel, if you remove the non-default kernel parameters: "acpi_osi=!Windows 2012" acpi_backlight=vendor does this change anything? As well, were you using non-default kernel parameters in your Saucy test? Also, did this problem not occur in a release prior to Raring? ** Summary changed: - Ubuntu hangs when booting laptop with HDMI and VGA monitors attached + Hangs booting with HDMI+VGA divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP; RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffa01eec90>] [<ffffffffa01eec90>] nve4_graph_init+0x250/0x7e0 [nouveau] ** Tags removed: needs-crash-log ** Tags added: has-crash-log ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1225646 Title: Hangs booting with HDMI+VGA divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP; RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffa01eec90>] [<ffffffffa01eec90>] nve4_graph_init+0x250/0x7e0 [nouveau] Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have a bto 15CL58 laptop, a Haswell laptop which has integrated Intel graphics as well as an NVidia GTX765M with the Optimus system for switching between the integrated and discrete GPU. When I try to boot Ubuntu 13.04 on it while having an HDMI monitor as well as a VGA monitor attached to the laptop, Ubuntu hangs. It shows the graphical Ubuntu logo with the dots underneath and then just sits there. Windows has no problem with this configuration, so I know the hardware can do it. If I remove the VGA connection Ubuntu does boot (and allows me to use the integrated display as well as the HDMI monitor). WORKAROUND: Note that after upgrading the kernel to 3.11 (from ~kernel-ppa/mainline) and installing the updated NVidia proprietary driver packages from ~xorg-edgers (since after the kernel update the kernel module doesn't compile), it *does* work!
