This same issue is happening again on 13.2, since 2016-03-02 update.

driver is available, but only tty consoles are accessible, no graphic console

Can't provide more information on my own, just reproduced what I see on
previous post. Probably comment 19 has the clue.

Willing to help debug it, by providing more info and testing things.
