Public bug reported:

After updating to kernel 3.8.0-31, the display has become unusable.  The
login screen goes blank every few seconds, and returns after about 1
second.  After logging into unity, there is total display corruption.
The display flickers and flashes and is generally unusable.  Everything
works wonderfully with 3.8.0-30.

I am using the open source radeon driver with RS880 [Radeon HD 4250]
