Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to
look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many
changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem
may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if
you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test
it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running
apport-collect <bug #> and any other logs that are relevant for this
particular issue.

Title:
  Regression: Video corruption on login

Status in unity package in Ubuntu:

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.
