Bug Description
I've got Xorg freezes from time to time. Previously, I was able to reproduce it with
sleep 1; xset s activate
as described at https:/
However, freezes happen from time to time when I try to use the computer after the screen has been deactivated.
I suspect it's a kernel problem because changing the kernel makes a difference:
- on some kernels it doesn't seem to occur at all (e.g. 4.0.3 from mainline-crack) or the frequency is just so low that I haven't seen it yet
- on newer kernels (e.g. 4.5 rc* and later, including the 4.5 release), the system restores the screen but Xorg freezes up almost instantly afterwards
- on some kernels, the system doesn't properly restore the screen, there's a pattern with stripes or a single color (e.g. 4.0.4 from mainline-crack)
