Public bug reported:

On my dual-monitor setup, changing the display settings to turn off the
secondary display results in the main display becoming entirely garbled
and unusable. Waiting for the 20 seconds to elapse causes the
configuration to revert to the previous configuration, but then both
screens are garbled and unusable until I switch to a virtual terminal
and run "sudo service lightdm restart".

The effect can be observed in the following video:

I am using a Radeon R7 260X, with the open-source radeonsi driver.
