quoted from the top of this page:  "This bug affects you and 5 other
people"

I'm going to go a little off topic and state the obvious, because this
has to be fixed.  This bug directly affects thousands of people.  6 of
them have seen this page in 4 months.  Nearly all affected users and
would-be users have seen A BLANK SCREEN, and have given up on Ubuntu.

The real bug is that, with this increasingly common hardware
configuration, Compiz is turned on by default, and nothing is ever
displayed.  No error report is generated.  The installation process goes
nowhere, or an upgrade results in an unusable computer.

This is from the point of view of a user.  If you're trying out an
alternative to Microsoft Windows (see Bug #1) and don't have expert
help, the result is COMPLETE USABILITY FAILURE.
