I have the exact same issue with the laptop... Tried the mainline kernel at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/v3.13-rc6-trusty/ but the behaviour was the same as with 3.12 : black screen on boot.
Had to revert to 3.13 drm-intel-next and it worked OK except when screen is dimmed the laptop is lost and you need to reboot. Also tried installing nvidia-331 but to no avail, black screen on boot but sortof cycling between on/off. -- 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/1263015 Title: 8086:0a16 [ASUS Zenbook UX302LG] Black screen on boot Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Install via LiveUSB created with unetbootin off the saucy amd64 iso was able to be completed with "nomodeset". First boot into installed system resulted in lightdm "cowbell" being played but a backlight on / blank screen on the display. using nomodeset on installed system results in framebuffer/console being usable - but no X able to start (cannot find screen). tried some alternative kernel options : acpi_backlight=vendor, video=1920x1080-24@60 but with same results. Tried using different kernel as per bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1195483 . pinned and upgraded to trusty kernel images - slightly different result in that backlight goes down and breifly have a red screen tear in upper left of screen for several seconds before reverting to same behaviour as saucy kernel. (blanked screen, backlit, lightdm cowbell plays).
