I'm guessing that the recently broken card is and intel 810 or 815 card. 
It is broken and a resolution is being worked on. In the meantime, 
adding Option "NoAccel" in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Refer to this 
bug for examples of where to place the noaccel option within this file. 
You need to edit the file with a text editor of some sort as root. Then 
when you reboot, the refresh problem should not be there. It would help 
if the video card that you have is known. The radeon 7200 and Intel 
810/815 are the only ones that I have hardware for and cause some sort 
of problems.

What does /sbin/lspci show as your video card type?

I hope this helps.
