Comment 0 for bug 1901563

I've just upgraded to 20.10. After logging in and using PyCharm for a while, the system froze, and I had to do a REISUB. It turned out to be a kernel panic and seems related to Xorg and the i915 driver.

This has now happened multiple times, and not all crashes have happened while using PyCharm.

I've tried using the ppa:canonical-kernel-team/ppa to install a new kernel (5.8.0-26-generic) but that did not help.
