** Description changed:

- As discussed at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2204287 the
- video is terrible on ubuntu 13.10. It is horrible also on 12.04.4, but
- works well on 12.04.2. By terrible, it means that it looks something
- like interlaced video not displayed properly. Every other line is
- shifted.
+ The video looks like interlaced video where every other line is shifted.
+ This occurs in 12.04.3 - 14.04 beta2. This doesn't occur in 12.04.0.
  
- lspci shows VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT
- Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
- 
- On ubuntu 12.04.2 the live CD has properly working video. The video
- works correctly after install, and also after all updates up to the
- current set of packages.
- 
- On ubuntu 12.04.3 the live CD has bad video.
- 
- On ubuntu 12.04.4 the live CD has bad video.
- 
- On lubuntu 13.10 the live CD has bad video. The video is also bad after
- install, and also after all updates up to the current set of packages.
- 
- On ubuntu 14.04 beta2 the live CD has bad video.
- 
- I would prefer to use a version more recent than 12.04.
