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.
