Same problem here. Xserver-xorg-video-intel is definitly the troublemaker for me. In discrete mode i can do whatever I want and even install the latet version of xserver-xorg-video-intel. Switching to high performance graphics kills the install (message about only low graphics mode available). Degrading the xserver-xorg-video-intel gets ubuntu back in the run. Naturally the system wants to re-install latest driver. I can't seem to fix that by using the lock driver functionality in synaptic like some blogs suggest. So when the system breaks again after an update i do have to demote the driver version. Now i have kicked out some ppa's out of my list and it seems to be pretty stable. Conclusion: The amd and intel combination is probably the cause for this malfunction

Both not worked, leaving the system with only the wallpaper and the mouse pointer. Same story with the ati installer (catalyst 13.4). I tried both, generating packages for Ubuntu and using the .run installer itself. Always wallpaper and pointer. It seems that no installation of ati drivers is possible on Ubuntu 13.04. I have a Radeon HD 6770M / Intel system.
