Public bug reported: At least once every session, I'm forced to restart gdm (once had to reboot my machine as gdm had also crashed). I switch to another TTY and back to my X session to find that I have a movable cursor, but otherwise a black screen with white bars spaced along the bottom. I find the following line in my dmesg every time this happens:
