https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1509622
I've been having cases of unusual screen behavior, particularly when Kodi 16 is
being used (maybe it's just a Kodi thing).
There have been times before when coming out of fullscreen video using either
Chrome or Kodi would drop me to a console screen with no input.
I think I would be able to kill the gnome session in tty1.
Now, after a bios upgrade as well as the latest display manager and kernel
update, Kodi has frozen in fullscreen a couple of times and yet audio will
still play from Kodi.
I created the bug report in tty1.
I've also been noticing that if I pause a Kodi video, other non-Kodi
applications may not update their window content.
For example, I may be in a webpage in Chrome and I try to mousewheel scroll,
yet not see the scrolling effect. Or I will click on a different tab and the
window doesn't show the switch. BUT, if I continue playing the Kodi video,
Chrome will update it's screen, and if I switch back to the tab I scrolled, the
scroll will have already occurred.
I will say that I have at least not had a fullscreen GUI crash me out to
console.
Another peculiarity is when booting Ubuntu, I used to be able to press ESC to
view the kernel/system booting output, but now it just shows a black screen
with a cursor.
The downside to that in 15.04 was I'd lose my mouse cursor when the GUI login
screen came up.
Let me know what other output you'd like (or whatever test you'd like me
to try) "when" it happens again.
