I did some more searching and came across this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution . This is the part that helped me :)
Adding undetected resolutions
Due to buggy hardware or drivers, your monitor's correct resolutions may not always be detected. For example, the EDID data block queried from your monitor may be incorrect.
If the mode already ...

I had a similar problem on my Lenovo y580 with HD Intel 4000. I simply removed the nvidia drivers and the computer booted into unity just fine. Perhaps try that (you could always reinstall them if it doesn't work.)

I had the same issue from updating. It seemed like xorg broke from not having a config file. Nor can it be auto-generated so I copied the xorg.conf.failsafe and made a new xorg.conf. Let me know if that helps.
I notice you deleted that file. This is what mine looks like. I am working on get this auto generation to work though.

This fixed it for me on Ubuntu 13.04:
sudo modprobe drm_kms_helper
echo N> /sys/module/drm_kms_helper/parameters/poll
Apparently the drm_kms_helper module isn't loaded by default on 13.04? You may have to load it in your /etc/modprobe.d/ and then sett the poll parameter.

I had the same problem on Samsung RC530. Graphics was functional until Nvidia drivers installed which messed up the drivers (I could log in in low resolution, monitor was not recognized at all). I have to say that answer provided by Alain worked. After removing Nvidia drivers in console mode and adding new configuration file everything was back to the old ...

I had problems with some VGA cables that has DDC (display data channel) broken or not connected.
I found this useful workaround using boot parameter to force kernel to see a disconnected VGA:
video={conn}:{res}e
conn should match xrandr device name
res 1024x768 (or what ever you prefer)
e means to enable the port (even if no device/monitor is detected).

Yes you can. But I would go with Ubuntu 13.04, specially if it will be the only OS on your system. For more info about 13.04 check out the Release Notes
To download 13.04 32Bit or 64Bit.
If you have a reason for using 12.04, then you can download the 32Bit or the 64Bit
Once you download the release that you like, you can burn 12.04 to a CD or 13.04 ...

The solution to this problem is to install unity-tweak-tool, sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool, go into Unity>Search and change Background Blur to OFF. You can also use CCSM to change this setting by going into desktop>unity plugin, and changing Dash Blur to No Blur.

This works fine for me with Nvidia Optimus (Bumblebee) without any special configuration, just the defaults:

Figured it out! At some point during my OS reinstall, I managed to re-enable Optimus in the BIOS. I disabled Optimus in the BIOS again, rebooted, and voila! All is right with the world again.

Try to update kernel 3.9. Boot on recovery mode, open the terminal and use this commands:
cd /tmp
wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47950494/upubuntu.com/kernel-3.9 -O kernel-3.9
chmod +x kernel-3.9
sudo sh kernel-3.9
sudo reboot
PS: I have a hp 530 too and it works ;)

Intel GMA 36xx chipsets are based on PowerVR SGX545. That is, Intel has licensed this chip from Imagination Technologies. I'm not sure the regular open source Intel drivers work with these chipsets, a different one may be provided. The poor performance is mostly due due to the open source driver not supporting 3D acceleration.
If you use Ubuntu 12.04, you ...

I am fairly sure this is impossible. The problem is that CedarView drivers are closed-source, outdated and Intel is no longer updating them. The driver supports 3.2 kernel only, and its DKMS module fails to compile under any newer kernel (including 13.04's kernel: 3.8).
Because the driver's source is closed, neither Canonical nor Ubuntu developers are ...

vgaswitcheroo applies if there is a free driver from linux kernel and kernel modesetting is activated. So it should work if there is no fgrlx installed. I made my Sony VPCSA with similar setup (Intel 4000, Radeon 6600M) working.

First of all, your complaining "You need to fix it" attitude is why no one responded to your question. Realize that you aren't paying anyone for Ubuntu, everyone's doing you a favor and working hard to make something that works for all of us.
On to your question, try ensuring that all of your drivers are set proprietary under:

Solution is to install vanilla Ubuntu 13.04 and do not touch any nvidia / compiz / tweak tools otherwise you will gonna have bad time. Default configuration runs just fine. Before you will try some major changes run clonezilla and save yourselft precious time and do full backup.
If you want to have nvidia drivers (e.g. because of 3d games) i wish you good ...

Same story here, except after entering recovery menu I choose "boot with network support" - this mounts my drives and tries to start some networking. This makes screen output some text and freeze. But right after pressing CTRL+C, the normal login screen appears. I have some nvidia graphics card and it looks like my video drivers are ok.

You can turn this off in BIOS by pressing F2 / Del / F10 on startup; go to Chipset configuration > Initial display mode > PCi-E and if there is a setting to change shared memory, change it to auto and the onboard graphics will disappear in Ubuntu, so it can only select one.
