I had found out that the issue vanishes when using SNA acceleration.
Hence, I set:
$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
EndSection
and I am keeping DPMS disabled.
I have just given another try without forcing the SNA acceleration
(that is to say, after moving /etc/X11/xorg.conf out of the way):
I was again able to reproduce the
slowness-and-never-get-back-to-console issue.
Is there any progress on this issue?
Has the bug been investigated?
Has the report been forwarded upstream?
I am looking forward to hearing back from the X Strike Force: thanks for
your time and for any help you may provide.
Olivier, did you manage to find out a (better) workaround?
Do you still experience the freeze issue?
Do you also experience the slowness issue?
Please let me know: thanks for your time.
