Title:
  Regression: Video corruption on login

  Expired
Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Expired
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Recent updates to 12.10 have caused a regression of bug 931967. This
  is reproducible on my MacBookPro 3,1 with NVIDIA 8600M graphics.

  To reproduce:
  1) Cold-boot
  2)Enter username and enter password at the greeter (login prompt); press enter to login

  Expected results:
  After entering the password, there should be a transition to the desktop. The transition might include a black screen for a moment.

  Actual results:
  After entering the password, there is full-screen corruption for a second or two until the desktop is drawn. The corruption looks like the system is displaying uninitialized memory.

  See bug 931967 for an example screenshot.
