Public bug reported: I'm having a serious graphics problem in Ubuntu 13.04. When the X starts up, I get a glitchy set of squares that turns red with a discolored overlay of what I should be seeing. I also see no cursor whatsoever. Using lspci I got this for my video card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. CN700/P4M800 Pro/P4M800 CE/VN800 Graphics [S3 UniChrome Pro] (rev 01) Additional Details: Openchrome has worked perfectly up until this release of Ubuntu 13.04 and assuming latest release of openchrome. What I am guessing is my video card is having problems with GLX, though there doesn't seem to be any easy way to disable it (which is something I shouldn't have to do in the first place). The little bit of what you're *supposed* to see is also updating at an unnervingly low framerate, furthing my suspicion that it's a serious problem with acceleration. It takes a while for the (glitchy) display to appear in the first place. It didn't (thankfully) keep me from switching consoles. The boot splash is show in text-mode only (this specific anomaly has happed in previous releases though strangly on on the live session) Please see if you can fix this or forward this to someone who can see what they can do.
