[Bug 309739] [NEW] Display gets corrupted and garbled every 5-7 minutes when using compiz. VT switch which takes ~1min required to reset screen

[Motin]

Public bug reported:

If I am lucky I can work in about 5-7 minutes before the screen gets all
garbled up and I have to switch to and from a tty to get back to a
normal appearance, a process that for some reason takes around 1-2
minutes.

Check the attached screenshot for an idea of how it looks...

I have inactivated all compiz plugins but the most basic ones for
functionality, like window decorations and desktop switcher.

Bug #269904 seems to be similar, but none of the reporters seem to
experience to complete corruption of the screen that I am.
