Public bug reported: Installing xserver-xorg-video-intel-lts-quantal on Precise prevents X display managers from loading (e.g., lightdm, kdm, lxdm, gdm). System then either locks up on splash screen or on a well lit (backlit?) black screen. ACPI is still responsive and a normal shutdown via the ACPI power button event is still possible, but keyboard and mouse input are unresponsive, which prevents switching to a console session.
Selecting "Recovery Mode" from the grub menu and then choosing "Resume" allows a normal console session, complete with multiple console switching via Alt+Function-key. Replacing only the xserver-xorg-video- intel-lts-quantal package with xserver-xorg-video-intel does not revert the system to a previous state as expected (i.e., "apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel"). To get X11 to work again required both replacing all relevant quantal packages (listed using "dpkg -l quantal") and reinstalling xorg via "apt-get install xorg". X11 still appears to be in some sort of limbo state though, with applications crashing that had worked before the upgrade to quantal driver and subsequent downgrade back, so there' s got to be some kind of configuration change that didn't go through when attempting to revert to the normal X11 driver for Precise. So far I'm only noticing a difference with WINE, for which I'll see about filing separate bug reports or comments to existing bugs.
