Title:
  Screen Display goes haywire

Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I upgraded to ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr a couple of days ago. There
  were a few errors/bugs which I automatically reported but I ended up
  with a usable OS and mostly everything worked fine. Suddenly the
  display on monitors turned haywire. I have a 2 monitors set up and
  both monitors started displaying random gray stripes on top of the
  actual applications that were open on the screens. Both the screens
  were covered in these gray stripes which were moving around randomly
  as well.

  I don't know what package or software/application is responsible for
  the behavior. It was the first time it happened on ubuntu (14.04, I
  had been been using ubuntu 12.04 for almost 2 years prior with same
  hardware) but I have seen this happen on Fedora 20 with a 2 monitor
  setup multiple times.

  I have a camera photo of what the screens looked like but the
  "printscreen" option on the keyboard failed to save the data on the
  screens.

  Let me know if any further information is desired.
