[Bug 356069] [NEW] after installing, I log in, and can't proceed past blank tan screen.

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

Version: 8.10

When I first installed ubuntu, I could not proceed past the login
screen. After searching online, I found a fix for this that involved
deleting compiz and compiz core. I had to hit ctr alt F1 on the login
screen, login to command mode, then delete the files. When I restarted
the computer, I had no other problems.

I later found out that my graphics card is blacklisted, and can't run
the visual effects. I have also seen a number of people on the ubuntu
form with the same issue. It would be nice if ubuntu would start up with
the 3D graphics turned off for people with blacklisted cards. That would
avoid this problem completely.
