Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
After updating yesterday I am seeing a few strange behaviours on my 2nd gen macbook, I'm not sure which is the cause and which is the symptom.
The one that this bug report is for is the screen not updating until TTY switch. Every few minutes of so, the screen will "freeze" (although apps appear to still receive input) this can be fixed by switching TTY from and back to 7 and all is normal again.

I forgot to mention, this seems to occur with KDE4 and GNOME however it seems to be less frequent with GNOME.
