Joseph, on your comment #18, yes, booting with prior kernel 3.16.0-6 works. Like right now. As has all utopic kernels previous to 3.10.0-7.
Tried latest 3.17.0-031700rc2-generic on three different installs: 1. On a 3.16.0-9 install, compiz/unity fail as usual. installed 3.17.0-031700rc2-generic which worked until I screwed up an update and killed the install. Flying fingers.... 2. Fresh amd64 3.16.0-10 install, compiz & unity fail, then installed 3.17.0-031700rc2-generic. Does not even complete boot. Nada. Recovery mode didn't fix anything. Of course in recovery with primitive screen support it does come up. 3. On this 3.16.0-6 updated to 3.16.0-10, the 3.17.0-031700rc2-generic fails to complete boot. And as usual with -10 compiz and unity fail, but 3.16.0-6 still works, 3D and all. /boot has all three kernels so I can try whichever. With multiple boots, very rarely like twice in days, 3.10.0-10 compiz and unity work. Smells like a timing race to me, does compiz test for 3D before X is quite ready for the test? Yes, I'm a retired computer engineer and have time to try various things within my capability and interest.
