Specifically, the screen blacks out, appears for half a second upside- down, then blacks out again before returning. It corresponds very closely to the following errors found initially in syslog: otto@computer:~$ journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell -f -o cat Window manager warning: Overwriting existing binding of keysym 73 with keysym 73 (keycode 27).
