Test with a Ubuntu 16.04 4.4 Kernel on Bionic, the problem remains, booted an original 16.04 Live disc which uses nouveau as the primary display driver - the problem remains as well. I think we can mark it off as a hardware problem.

I updated to Ubuntu 18.04 to try to resolve the issue and then even updated the kernel to the Linux-4.15-rc8 (4.15.0-994-generic) but the issues remain on both Wayland and Xorg. It seems related to the 3D acceleration since the corruption only starts with gdm, not on the framebuffer before. The issue happens on every boot. The i915 module is loaded with its default parameters, the nvidia card is deactivated with switcheroo and the proprietary driver has never been installed. The corruption is best described as flashing distortions associated with timers and/or input events. Sometimes a whole triangular section of up to a quarter of the double-screen setup is streched and/or discolored or blacked out. Sometimes black squares (a few pixels) splatter the whole screen for a few frames until a damaged region is updated. It looks like some kind of shader issue. Sometimes the screen gets stuck for a few seconds (presumably the hang from the crashdump attached), so it's possible that there are multiple issues but I can't discern them. dmesg reports: ` [31026.161705] [drm] Reducing the compressed framebuffer size.
