Public bug reported: After a fresh install of 12.04.1 and an upgrade to 12.10 I am experiencing a bug where the display is corrupted/flickering; colors are non-existent and part of the screen is cut off. I am able to work around the problem by suspending the laptop and then resuming it. I googled this problem and it appears that others are experiencing it with different laptops. It may very well be the problem described in detail here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=690198 If I boot into the 12.10 installer I get the very same issue. However, booting into the 12.04.1 installer everything works as it should (no display corruption). I am willing to test out any suggested fixes.
