I frequently experience black screen with cursor in top left and [OK] in top right on boot (occasionally still experience low graphics mode screen on boot too). More recently, I am starting to experience frequent same black screens while I am trying to work as well. My non- technical "workaround" for this problem (on boot or while I am working) is to plug in a VGA cable into the back of my laptop (even with second screen powered off). This gives me back my graphical screen and I can continue working for awhile. When it happens again later, I unplug the VGA cable and get my graphical screen back again. And so on, and so on ... Obviously, this is not a viable workaround, but only mentioning it in the hope it might shed some light on this incredibly irritating issue. My Ubuntu 12.10 is completely up-to-date and the problem still persists. Since, the intermittent black screens only started last week sometime, I assume a recent update has caused them. The low graphics mode screens on boot seem less frequent, but black screens on boot occur frequently.
