I'm also affected by this bug, and am trying Vishnu's solution.
In the meantime, you can use 13.04 by selecting the 3.5 kernel from Grub
at boot.

Title:
Garbled display: kernel 3.8.0-19-generic, ATI Mobility Radeon HD
4530/4570/545v
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Since upgrading to Ubuntu raring 13.04 with kernel 3.8.0-19-generic,
when X starts up, the display is garbled. First the display comes up
with a fixed, static pattern, it switches to black, then back to a
garbled screen, where a regular pattern of pixels keeps flickering. It
doesn’t react to input any longer, and I can’t switch to a virtual
console, either.
