 Dear Maintainer,
 
 *** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
 
* What led up to the situation?
 I think it happened after an important upgrade related to systemd
 a few months ago but I'm not fully sure. I'm now using
 systemd-logind.

What am I supposed to do with that?
 
* What was the outcome of this action?
 Notice that I report the bug with a different kernel.
 The kernel on which the bug occurs is: Linux 3.16-2-amd64
 
 Lightdm starts and instantly (maybe after 1/10 sec) shows a
 black screen.
 It is possible to login (I can see that the HDD light working) but
 the screen is still black.

LightDM doesn't control the screen brightness, so it's look completely
unrelated to lightdm.

  I'm reporting this for lightdm but I
 guess this is more general.

Indeed.

 Notice that when I use another kernel (3.14-2-amd64) the situation
 is a bit different: the screen is black but if I increase the
 luminosity of the screen then it suddenly works.

So why are you reporting against lightdm if it looks like a kernel
regression?
 
 
* What outcome did you expect instead?
 To be able at least to increase the luminosity until it works.
 The best would be of course to have immediately a screen with display
 on.

In any case, there's nothing I can do with the report, sorry.

Regards,
