Acer Revo 80 - Ubuntu 12.04 - Intel 3000 HD

[mrburns2013]

Hello

I have an new Acer Revo RL80 Nettop PC with Intel i3 CPU, Intel HD 3000 Graphic with installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
After the Grub boot screen the monitor showing a blanc screen or he flicker with different colors on all video outputs (VGA, DVI, HDMI)
The boot option "nomodeset" or "i915.blacklist=1" works, but the hardware acceleration is now disabled. Then the video playback is very slowly.
If i use VNC remote access, i see the i913 driver is installed correctly. The monitor and the Sony TV is recognized from the display manager (KDE and Ubuntu). XRANDR show possible screen resolution. But the monitor and TV showing no picture.

Same problem with Ubutu 12.10, Ubuntu 13.x Beta and XBMCBuntu.
