I'd prefer tracking issues like this via bug reports... file it via running 'ubuntu-bug xorg' and attach a photo of the screen. Offhand, there was a very minor mesa update on Thursday (just adding a null pointer check). You could try downgrading to (7.9+repack-1ubuntu3) just in case. Otherwise, if that doesn't do it, look in your /var/log/dpkg.log for what else got upgraded Thursday and try downgrading each bit (you may still have the .deb's in /var/cache/apt/archives/).
