There is a rather severe glitch with the i915 driver and 5.10 kernels
that has very similar effects. If this you are using a 5.10 kernel, try
rebooting on a 5.9, for me it fixed the issue (20 days and counting).

Any chance the cooling system needs cleaning?

Are you using a display manager (login greeter) to launch?

There are two DDX drivers applicable to your (>9 years old) Sandy Bridge IGP:

intel
modesetting

If xserver-xorg-video-intel is installed, typically its provided intel DDX will 
be
employed. Without it, normally modesetting will be employed, a component of the
server .deb, and the upstream default. xserver-xorg-video-intel is informally
deprecated, getting mostly only bug fixes for the past 7 years, and no official
release since then. A look through /var/log/Xorg.0.log should make it obvious
which is in use, lots of intel(0) strings or lots of modeset(0) strings, but not
both. Sometimes one may find an override specification either in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf or in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/25-intel.conf or other
xorg.conf.d/*conf. Try switching from one DDX to the other.

Which kernel, 5.10.x, or 5.11.x? If the latter, try a 5.10.x if you can, or at
least an older 5.11.x.

In none of this helps:

pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log

and share here the resulting URL. If /var/log/Xorg.0.log is absent, look in
~/.local/share/xorg/ for it.

Video hangs on ThinkPad X220 T

2021-03-26 Thread riveravaldez
Hi,

I'm having what I suppose are random (not frequent) video server hangs.
This is a ThinkPad X220 T with Debian Testing and:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 2nd
Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller
[8086:0126] (rev 09)

I'm using IceWM here, but not sure if that's relevant.
The symptoms are that randomly screen image gets frozen, but with some
(also random) little variations, but mostly frozen, meanwhile everything else
in the system seems to keep working fine, even the WM keyboard shortcuts
(but you have to imagine what's happening, of course).

Only thing I found that seems apparently relevant in both `sudo journalctl`
and `sudo dmesg` is:

debian kernel: i915 :00:02.0: [drm] GPU HANG: ecode 6:1:85fc,
in eadedCompositor [10433]
debian kernel: i915 :00:02.0: [drm] Resetting chip for stopped
heartbeat on rcs0
debian kernel: i915 :00:02.0: [drm] eadedCompositor[10433] context
reset due to GPU hang

Any idea what to do/where to look?

Sometimes you get logged-off from your session and put back to the DM
log-in screen. Other times you have to kill the WM from another tty and then
re-log. Everything else seems ok.

Thanks a lot in advance for any help.
