https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RqwPanN0wQ Video example. GNOME version 3.18.2 Gallium 0.4 on AMD HAWAII (DRM 2.43.0, LLVM 3.7.1) Kernel 4.4.5 This seems to be related to the ~.config/monitors.xml file, as removing it fixes the issue until re-configuring monitors and rebooting. (Sorry if this went to the completely wrong people to look at or there is info missing, I don't submit bug reports often.)
