I am disappointed I can't close the bug. The problem still persists. The 
reinstallation of lightdm package affected only first 3 boots after the 
procedure, but it no longer seems to make any effect.
In addition, I've noticed that my mouse pointer is not only visible on virtual 
terminal 7, but also on every other terminals. How could that be so? However, I 
can't use the mouse on vt1 through 6.

I now assume everything works correctly except the fact I can't see
anything (only a cursor) and the cursor is visible on all virtual
terminals independently.

I can login in lightdm even though I don't see anything, even after
unity loads. (lightdm, xorg, compiz - those all works, but for some
reason I've got almost blank screen on vt7).

To get my screen working I have to either kill lightdm and then start it
again, or login through lightdm I don't see and then kill the gnome-
session.

Title:
  lightdm doesn't load correctly on Ubuntu 12.10

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 12.10 doesn't load correctly because lightdm shows only a mouse 
pointer and a blinking command-line cursor.
  I don't know if this is only Ubuntu 12.10 specific bug, because a similar 
error appeared on my friend's computer back in 2011 on Ubuntu 11.10. However, 
switching to a command line and restarting lightdm solves the problem per 
instance. Also rebooting the device solves it, but also only for the specific 
boot. Another reboot ends with the same "black screen with a working mouse 
pointer and a blinking cursor".

  I am using Asus Zenbook ux32vd (Intel HD Graphics 4000 + not used
  Nvidia GT620M - Optimus technology).
