unity - Display color goes haywire when resuming from lock screen

Resuming the computer from locked screen sometimes ends up distorting the display.


It happens randomly and restarting the computer is one workaround for it.


I tried this : ALT+F2 ,then type “unity”. Didn't solve the problem.


color distorted in ubuntu


The issue does not appear on screen shots. I took a picture with my mobile to
get this.


I am using X.org X server - AMD/ATI display driver wrapper from xserver-xorg-video-ati.


Any idea why might be going wrong?


UPDATE: Changed the graphic driver to use proprietary driver. Hope it solves the problem. [It didn't]


UPDATE2: Found another work around. Suspend the computer and then resume it. Works fine after that.
