Please help

    Suggested steps to get back to a working desktop when you have graphics issues regardless of driver.

    The steps I usually try are first CtlAltF1 followed by CtlAltF7. In some cases this will get it working.

    After that, if you're using unity-3d(the default) try unity --replace & in a terminal. Basically that means launch a new unity to replace the old one.

  2. Same problem with Ubuntu 16.10, GTX 750 Ti and 4K monitor. killall compiz and waiting for it to respawn fixes it.

  3. I have the same issue. If I go into Settings > Displays and click the Apply button, it resets the video and everything is fine again. There should be a better fix that this though.

    I am running Ubuntu 16.04. No 3rd party drivers installed. System > Details says my graphics is: AMD TURKS (DRM 2.50.0 / 4.13.0-39-generic, LLVM 5.0.0)
