dmesg perhaps.  I don't think there's a gpudump file for -ati like there
is for -intel.

If there is an exact set of steps that reliably reproduce it (apart from
just booting), that would be quite helpful to know.

At what point of the boot sequence does it occur?

You mentioned above that Unity 2D seems to run ok; how are you getting
into it if it's not a boot choice and Unity 3D freezes?

At least snag dmesg, /usr/log/Xorg.0.log, .xsession-errors

If it is a regression and a cd from an earlier date worked without this
bug, it would be invaluable to know what that date was.

There was a bug in glib2.0 yesterday, that might affect Aug 16th images,
however it only affects upgrades so shouldn't affect Live CD boots.
However, if you found that the Aug 15th image works, that would be quite
interesting.

Yep, that's a good point.
