I can confirm the same problem on my ThinkPad W500 using the internal
Intel graphics. After an upgrade to the latest version of x11-common,
the X11 server becomes unusable when started. Restarting (even after
removing batteries and AC adapter) does not solve the problem. Going to
a console login is not possible, since the graphics output is completely
garbled. SSH to the system remained possible, so that I have been able
to downgrade to 7.4+3ubuntu7. Since that, the system again works as it
should.

The importance of this bug should be set to the highest priority, since
this bug makes a system unusable.
