Same issue with me on Ubuntu 12.10 with the following hardware :-
Intel Core i3-3225 (w/HD 4000)
8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1866
ASRock H77M-ITX motherboard
Corsair F40 40GB SSD
On most cold boots now LightDM is failing to start, and will just
display the standard display reconfigure message (which obviously
doesn't actually do anything other than boot you to a terminal)
I have to start LightDM manually 'sudo lightdm' and once it's
initialised everything is fine again, and I can even reboot the system
and LightDM will usually start (occasionally it will still fail on a
reboot).

Title:
lightdm doesn't load correctly on Ubuntu 12.10
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
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).
