I downloaded the beta amd64 dvd image; there is no change in my symptoms. It briefly shows the orange-brown desktop and cursor, then goes black. It sometimes flashes the screen briefly. Then a login screen appears saying that Ubuntu will automatically login in ten seconds. When it does, the mouse is frozen. After a while, this whole sequence of displaying the login screen, counting down the time and automatically logging in repeats. Since stuff is loaded into memory, it gets farther towards displaying the desktop each time, but never succeeds. I let it go on about a dozen times. Then I tried to type alt-ctl-f1 to get to a console. This is unresponsive in the "frozen" part. Just when the login screen appears, I get a response, but it is to discolor the top part of the screen. There are some blue pixels which change when I go back and forth between alt-ctl-F1 and alt-ctl-F2, but the screen is not readable. Switching to one of the consoles has the effect of interrupting the cycling. Is there some way to reset the video characteristics from a console?
