Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: unity

Whenever a second screen (tried with two different screens, 1920x1080
and 1280x1024) is attached, the display is completely distorted. I
attached one example.

What happens is that the screen is immediately distorted, a part of the screen 
seems to be correct, other parts completely distorted. Some areas are only 
black and white like in the image.
I noticed that in some areas the mouse cursor appears, in others it doesn't. If 
I try to move a window around, in some areas it is drawn, in others it is not.
I also noticed something interesting: in some cases, in some areas, the 
distorted image is from something that shouldn't be on the screen, but that was 
on the screen some minutes ago, like the screen was somehow showing, with 
distortion, areas of memory containing old garbage.

This happens whenever I try to attach something in Unity. Doesn't happen
with Gnome on the same system.
