I've updated the BIOS. xorg (or is it gnome-shell?) still hangs, but without any ACPI-warnings this time.
The bios version as requested is: A19 09/07/2012 There are still some warnings during startup: Jan 10 22:01:33 jens-XPS-L702X kernel: [ 3.753967] [Firmware Bug]: ACPI(PEGP) defines _DOD but not _DOS [...] Jan 10 22:01:33 jens-XPS-L702X kernel: [ 9.081351] ACPI Warning: \_SB_.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._DSM: Argument #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer], ACPI requires [Package] (20131115/nsarguments-95) Jan 10 22:01:33 jens-XPS-L702X kernel: [ 9.081561] ACPI Warning: \_SB_.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._DSM: Argument #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer], ACPI requires [Package] (20131115/nsarguments-95) I also have these warnings.
