Brian Gorbe, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. 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-v3.13-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.

Title:
  Video Fails With Blank Screen After Boot

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.
