I have tested 3.1.0-999-generic #201110240405 for a while now, I haven't had this particular issue but I do get screen corruption quite a lot. With multiple monitors it doesn't crash, but I cannot load Unity at all. I have loaded Unity 2D which seems better. I am getting to the point of thinking

Should I raise the start-up screen as a separate issue? That could be marked as fixed kernel-fixed-upstream-3.0.4 - unfortunately that probably means that one of the Ubuntu patches has caused the issue in the first place. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu

I have just tried restarting gnome-shell a few times lead to 100% CPU and couldn't recover from within X. I did CTRL+ALT+F1, login, tried to kill gnome-shell (which failed to resolve anything the X server seemed to be toast as the windows were partially visible but not responsive to anything),
