** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xorg
  
  Since I upgraded from Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10, the monitor displays
  correctly for a couple of seconds, then turns black for a fraction of a
  second and then repeats the on and off sequence, making the computer
  nearly unusable.
  
  The whole sequence is periodic, not random.
  
  Another bug reported earlier (#606987) persists in this release as well,
  perhaps with the exception that restarting the computer (as opposed to
  turning it on after a shutdown) gives a normal logon screen. (I only
  used Restart a couple of times since the upgrade.)
  
  Thanks and regards
