Dallman Ross, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Thank you for your understanding.

Sometimes the boot-up gets to a normal greeter screen. Often as not, though, I get a blank gray greeter screen. I can type my password blindly and get in to the GDM, usually. But sometimes I can't -- because I can't see the underlying screens and have to guess what field I'm typing into, etc. I can go to a console via Ctr+{[1-6]} and restart the GDM and then the greeter screen is normal and I can log in normally. Also, between screen modes at boot-up and on entering the GDM, there is ugly flickering and screen garbage that lasts a good second or so. /d ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: xorg 1:7.7+1ubuntu6 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-13.20-generic 3.11.6 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-13-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: None Date: Thu Nov 14 10:19:27 2013 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: saucy DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: vboxhost, 4.3.2, 3.11.0-12-generic, x86_64: installed vboxhost, 4.3.2, 3.11.0-13-generic, x86_64: installed ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, if not too technical GraphicsCard: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
