Exactly the same problem here (XPS 1640) on a fresh install (livecd boot without problem, but as soon the system is installed on the disk, it doesn't boot...) I have a dark screen instead on the login screen. In dmesg, we can see this :

Unter Ubuntu 12.04, I was able to use the proprietary fglrx driver. However, since the new xserver-xorg introduced in Ubuntu 12.10, I am unable to use the proprietary driver anymore, because ATI stopped support for the graphics card in the newer fglrx-versions compatible with the new xserver. I now upgraded to Ubuntu 13.04 and tried to get the radeon open-source driver to work. When I activate the driver by installing the xserver- xorg-video-radeon package, the monitor goes dark, flickers once a few seconds later and the system does not react anymore - the only thing still working is the poweroff button. I did try several custom xorg.conf files (minimalistic copy of the fallback with the radeon driver specified, the same with deactivated acceleration and a bigger one with specific screen modes, etc) and the dbus version without any xorg.conf file - all with the same result. The vesa-driver is unable to detect my monitor correctly and leaves me with 1440x960, which is bad for my monitor, because it is not my native resolution and fuzzy. I'm now stuck with a generic kernel-mode setting, which has my native resolution, but is sluggish and unusable. I do not want to be stuck with Ubuntu 12.04 and an unsupported fglrx driver for the next year or so (until I get a new laptop). Any hints and help greatly appreciated.
