Personaly I can live like this. The workaround is pretty simple (a bios setting), and to be fully honest, I plan to leave Ubuntu pretty soon. I'm a Gnome fan, and it's time to say Ubuntu is not really a Gnome distrib anymore.

I burnt a Live Ubuntu Gnome 13.10 USB, first with the Beta 1, and with the 2013-09-30 daily image. This USB key has been created with Rufus under Windows and is compliant for both UEFI and Bios mode. If I boot the key in UEFI mode (SecureBoot is disabled), I see the first screen. After having chosen "test only", plymouth starts but the screen refresh frequency is bad, so I have many footprints on the screen, etc. Everything seems to run fine also, except this screen refresh frequency. WORKAROUND: If I boot on the key in Bios mode, no problem, I see the first screen in text mode (Install, test only...). After having chosen "test only", I see the Gnome footprint and everything runs.
