Moin,
[1.] One line summary of the problem:
Both screens stay blank during boot with 3.8.3.
This has been fixed in 3.8.4. Sorry for the noise.
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
When booting the screens go blank soon after showing the grub menu. Starting X11 does not bring the screens up either. In /var/log/dmesg two lines appear (diff -u):

Can you please file a bug report against bugs.freedesktop.org.
They require to create an account, and I resolved to not open accounts anywhere just to file bug reports, sorry.
Please boot both broken and working kernel with drm.debug=0xe added to your kernel cmdline and attach the complete dmesg of each to the bug report.
If you can do a quick bisect to figure out the offending commit, that would be good, too. And can you please also check whether the latest 3.9-rc kernel is affect? We need to know that since stable rules mandate that regressions in stable kernels can only be fixed once upstream is known to work.
Thanks, Daniel
