I've had similar problems.

Regarding comment #7, 12.04 was not affected, I first saw the problem
after upgraded to 13.10 (I didn't use 12.10 or 13.04 so can't say it
they were affected).  The problem persisted after upgrading to 14.04.

I've had the same problem affected both open source ATI and open source
Nvidia drivers (on different machines).  In both cases problem ceases to
exist after installing proprietary drivers.

As mentioned in comment #5 just installing fglrx from Ubuntu repository
borks the 14.04, I've installed proprietary drivers downloaded directly
from AMD.com.
