Ubuntu Desktop 12.10

A normal boot results in a black screen with a mouse cursor in the middle (this occurs after the drumroll).
Sometimes a normal boot becomes an orange screen, no mouse cursor after the durmroll.

A boot in recovery mode works normally (usually) using the open source driver.
A boot in recovery mode using the proprietary driver gets to the login screen, but unity fails (no launcher, no top tolbar).

A boot in recovery mode sometimes results in a screem shifted 1/2 screen
- that is, right hand controls are just to the left of center screen,
left hand objects (like the login dialog) are just to the right of
center.

I re-installed from the install CD (kernel 3.5.0.17?) and boot works
normally.  I then updated the system (kernel 3.5.0.25) and the video
problems resumed.
