Interesting. I had a look at Intel's ark website for the chip, and thought
the HD Graphics meant there is a display device:

http://ark.intel.com/products/75128/Intel-Core-i7-4800MQ-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_70-GHz

My Xorg log is here:

It looks like it cannot load the highest resolution, but is stuck at
1024x768

[   492.769] (WW) VESA(0): Unable to estimate virtual size
[   492.769] (II) VESA(0): Not using built-in mode "1920x1080" (no mode of
this name)

"800x600" (115)
[   492.770] (II) VESA(0): Attempting to use 60Hz refresh for mode
"640x480" (112)

dmesg shows only one line after loading the module:

info: [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
