Grzegorz Galezowski, 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.

As I checked later, the 13.10 live CD was giving me the same symptom right from the start. I managed to work around it by adding the following to xorg configuration: ------------------------------------------------ Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "vesa" EndSection ------------------------------------------------ and it started booting, but now shows corrupted font as seen in the attached image. The graphics card is not top-notch, but it worked in the 13.04 release (albeit only in gnome mode with no effects) and the font was rendered correctly.
