Bug Description

After the laptop wakes from sleep or after being in TTY (Ctrl+Alt+F1), the monitor goes black or noisy and only shows a snippet of the desktop as if a second monitor is attached to the side.

This has been happening ever since attaching a second monitor for the first time (since updating to the latest graphics drivers).

Ubuntu 12.10
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series - 1GB

OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series
OpenGL version string: 4.2.11995 Compatibility Profile Context

I have the latest BETA version of Catalyst drivers...

I do not know where better to post the bug.
