"No screens found" after apt-get upgrade with Intel video card

My Mythbuntu installation (based on Ubuntu 12.04), which has been running without issues for years, suddenly won't start X Windows after doing a simple apt-get upgrade. Several packages were upgraded, but the relevant ones from /var/log/dpkg.log appear to be:

2013-06-01 11:13:19 upgrade lightdm 1.2.3-0ubuntu2 1.2.3-0ubuntu2.1

2013-06-01 11:13:49 upgrade liblightdm-gobject-1-0 1.2.3-0ubuntu2 1.2.3-0ubuntu2.1

2013-06-01 11:13:52 upgrade linux-generic 3.2.0.43.51 3.2.0.45.54

2013-06-01 11:13:52 upgrade linux-image-generic 3.2.0.43.51 3.2.0.45.54

2013-06-01 11:14:02 upgrade linux-headers-generic 3.2.0.43.51 3.2.0.45.54

The log from /var/log/Xorg.0.log is as follows:

There is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

So far, I've tried the following:

Downgrading to an older Linux kernel:

apt-get install linux-generic=3.2.0.45.54

Downgrading lightdm:
```
apt-get install lightdm=1.2.1-0ubuntu1
```

Running X -configure and restarting (I deleted the generated xorg.conf after it didn't work)

So far, I seem to get the same error no matter what I do. Any suggestions?

In case anyone else runs into this problem, I was able to fix it by switching to the experimental xorg-edgers video card drivers PPA, and installing unity-2d, as follows:



sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

sudo apt-get install unity-2d

Use this at your own risk, please understand that PPAs can break your system. Learn more about the xorg-edgers PPA here.
