Since I filled the bug report, I installed the vbetool and xserver-xorg- video-intel packages and I'm no longer seeing the crash (uptime: 7h+). The graphical performance is also back to what it was on Trusty. I guess my desktop install was too minimal (--no-install-recommends ubuntu- desktop).
If the crash happens again, I'll test with the latest upstream kernel. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1530591 Title: Frequent crash after graphical corruption Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: My Thinkpad T410 is frequently crashing since I'm running Xenial.
