Tried to install Lubuntu 13.10, Linux Mint 16 XFCE or Cinnamon and had problems launching the installer due to distorted graphics. Linux Mint has compatibility mode that works fine for the installer. However after installing and rebooting I get the distorted graphics again. The text terminal (ALT+CTRL+F1) is more or less usable, but far from ideal.
The only to solve the problem for me was by using nomodeset in grub.
