This issue happened little after (but _not_ immediately after) switching screen with disper -S. The screen suddenly became a total flockering mess with white dots, stripes, repeated or distorted pieces of graphics, flickerings, and all sort of frenetically changing garbage all over the screen. "Behind" this mess, the system appeared to keep working (I could open and close programs, if I could almost see what I was doing). Logging out didn't fix the issue; restarting did. I had never ever observed this in 12.04 and until now.
