I wont say it's not xorg, but the symptoms are the same with a base
server install.

Title:
  screen is garbled with 14.10 (was fine with 14.04)

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On a iMac Alu 2010, when
  1) upgrading from 14.04 desktop to 14.10 desktop
  OR
  2) installing 10.10 server (SSH package only)
  the screen shows thin horizontal lines moving on a black background.

  /etc/X11/xorg.conf is absent (using default config),
  /var/log/Xorg.0.log doesn't show any error beside the lack of the
  fglrx module. But I doubt it's relevant with the symptoms appearing on
  the server install.

  
  Here is the lspci of the iMac
