I was experiencing this same issue on the dell mini 9. It seemed that it was working again with the compiz/unity updates (minus that every now and then the image on the screen would freeze indefinitely whilst the cursor would still move - required a reboot to work again). Having installed the latest mesa update however (9.0~git20120903.e1673d20-0ubuntu1), after entering my password in the login screen I am left with a black screen with a cursor that can move as normal. Top shows that compiz and the usual desktop processes are running normally. This may be a different bug, but downgrading the three mesa packages mentioned above at least allows unity to load. I still have sporadic issues with the image freezing indefinitely. Are others seeing similar things, or am I best opening a new bug?
