Sometimes a normal boot becomes an orange screen, no mouse cursor after the durmroll. A boot in recovery mode works normally (usually) using the open source driver. A boot in recovery mode using the proprietary driver gets to the login screen, but unity fails (no launcher, no top tolbar). A boot in recovery mode sometimes results in a screem shifted 1/2 screen - that is, right hand controls are just to the left of center screen, left hand objects (like the login dialog) are just to the right of center. I re-installed from the install CD (kernel 3.5.0.17?) and boot works normally. I then updated the system (kernel 3.5.0.25) and the video problems resumed.
