Public bug reported:

occasionally the screen will darken and just do nothing for a while..
then lighten up and everything is fine.   Also, occasionally the screen
will go into a spasm with multiple colors all across, (with previous
screen barely visable behind it.  I push cont alt del and when the
shutdown window appears, I cancel it and usually screen returns to
normal.  I have upgraded from Ubuntu 15.10 to 16.? LTS and it has
happened a couple more times, maybe not as much.
