Comment 0 for bug 1281184

Screen is black after logging in. The computer still sort of works and if I'm lucky I can log out. I also once saw a video error message pop up during a shut down. I didn't get a good look at it, but it said something about running slower in low graphics mode and had some options to pick from. Ubuntu itself runs normally with gnome classic flashback no effects however many programs have graphical issues that I think are related. This problem started when updating from 12.04 to 12.10 and continued after the update from 12.10 to 13.10 however this computer has always had weird issues with video. As far as I can tell there are no bios/firmware updates and I'm running correct up to date video drivers.

The computer is a HP Compaq 6510b laptop. Running Ubuntu 13.10

Thank you for any help.
