Public bug reported: The screen freezes (with no corruption) when the PC enters standby or screen power saving. The event does not happen when the PC enters standby or screen power saving from the users selection screen. Once the problem happens the only way to recover normal operation is to switch to another VT (ctrl+alt+f*), login as any user and run "sudo service lightdm restart".
Until some of the last updates, I was experiencing very serious episodes of screen corruptions that forced me to disable hardware acceleration. Now I can use acceleration with this residual problem.
