Bug#774020: systemd: black screen with backlight on start. rescue mode plus Ctrl-D allows normal boot

[allan]

Michael, I think this may be a display manager that's not starting
consistently.  I have got the thing to drop me at a login prompt a couple
of times where logging in and then startx worked fine.

Found this in /var/log/slim.log -

slim: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections.

lightdm displayed the same behavior.  Black screen, backlight on, no way to
switch to another console, SSH logins appear to work fine.

Hope this helps -
