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.
