I upgraded a bunch of packages today (did a dist-upgrade, which brought
in updated libdrm* packages and a bunch of other stuff, and I also
installed the 3.19.0-13 kernel from the testing PPA) and this is now
resolved. I have no idea which update fixed it, but at least it's gone
(hopefully for good)!

Title:
  Screen garbled after changing display settings

Status in xserver-xorg-video-ati package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
