[Bug 1281184] Re: Black screen from newer kernel.

[faceshed]

** Description changed:

+ Edit; I found a workaround and am satisfied. The problem is still there
+ and I'm willing to help test however I recommend the Ubuntu staff close
+ this and focus on more important things.
+ 
  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.
