Public bug reported:
After upgrading my laptop to Ubuntu 16.10, I noticed that the secondary
monitor I use at work was showing a black background instead of the
background shown on my primary display. Also if windows were dragged to
the secondary display I would see weird artifacts such as multiple
stacked copies of the window being dragged. I believe that this is an
SNA issue on multi-monitor setups. I managed to get the old correct
behaviour back by switching the accelaration method to UXA by means of
Xorg configuration file.
My workaround involves putting:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
EndSection
inside a file named /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
The information needed to assemble this file was found on the Arch Linux
Wiki.
