["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Chris Hermansen, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily kernel folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12-rc6

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

  This problem occurs intermittently on my Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop.  For
  instance, on booting the Saucy beta 2 release from USB stick; or today,
- booting the installed 13.10 beta 2 with all updates current.  But not
- always.
+ booting the installed 13.10 beta 2 with all updates current. But not
+ always. The screen is 100% illegible when this happens.
  
- The workaround is to wait for the screen to blank on power save; when it
- is reactivated, the display is fine.  Or if screen blanking is not
- engaged, close the lid, wait, and open it again.
- 
- The screen is 100% illegible when this happens.
- 
- This problem has been noted by myself and others and was formerly
- tracked as bug 572521 but the originator of that bug no longer has the
- hardware.
- 
- This is my testing machine so I am able and willing to try anything on
- it.
