Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 13.04

Expected:  
Usual startup with stable onscreen video

Observed:
Immediately after a system update last week that included going from kernel 
xxx.25 to xxx.26 the video became unstable.  At start-up the cursor will blink 
in the upper left corner and won't respond to any input.  Switching back to 
kernel xxx.25 brings back the usual stability.  Switching to kernel xxx.19, 
which came on the installation .iso is also unstable.  Sometimes plugging in an 
external monitor will produce a temporarily stable video, but within 10 minutes 
the system degrades to instability.  Unplugging the monitor will usually bring 
the laptop screen back to life, but again only temporarily.

I don't have enough Internet bandwidth to do kernel bisections, but will
be happy to pursue this if needed.
