Same here. Sometimes it dies at the login prompt of SDDM, sometimes
shortly after. Xorg uses 100% CPU.

Happens on my desktop (Intel Skylake) and my laptop (Intel Haswell)
Happens with both Kernel 4.3.0 and Kernel 4.4.0
Happens with xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.917+git20160218-1, 
2:2.99.917+git20160307-2 and without xserver-xorg-video-intel

It looks like I can fix the issue by downgrading xserver-xorg-core to
2:1.18.1-1.

A fix will presumably be in 1.18.3, whenever that happens.

Bug#675363: I had the same problem but it went away

Hi,

I was having the same issues on my HD Graphics 5500, last seen on
jessie with original kernel + backports xserver-xorg-video-intel.

However since getting the backports kernel, too, this problem
disapeared. It also did not reappear in stretch (testing at the time
of writing) so far.

Your report is quite old, can you verify it still exists?

Best Regards

So, is a fix forthcoming?  It is not just a minor annoyance: the flooding
log messages are simultaneously written to /var/log/messages,
/var/log/syslog and /var/log/user.log, not only thrashing the hard drive
and slowing down the system, but also quickly growing to hundreds and
thousands of megabytes in size, easily filling up a smaller hard drive
within a short period of time.  And it is not just going to affect a
handful of users.

I suppose that is why Fedora uploaded a fix within 32 hours of receiving
the initial bug report.

So, is a fix forthcoming, soon?  If not, I am more than happy to make a NMU
today.

Many thanks,
Anthony
