I'm reporting here because #527009 is marked as duplicate as this one. I
get the exact behavior described there. I see X start with the rolling
circles, then my login screen flashes up und suddenly goes dark again,
showing only some wrong-coloured watermark version of my background
image (I'm using plain kdm logon). Doing something like Ctrl+Alt+F1 and
then Ctrl+Alt+F7 "refreshes" teh login screen to display correctly (I
already knew this trick because PartedMagic requires me to do the same
when I start it.)

This is on a do-release-upgrade'd lucid beta form karmic on my ThinkPad
T42. lspci says this is my graphics adapter:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility
M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]

PS: I've also noticed a sudden X restart after having played a video.
Maybe it relates, someone "upstairs" mentioned behavior like this. I've
only upgraded this morning, so I cannot say very much more.
