Probably related:

xserver-xorg-core: flickering, black screen and modeset driver error: 
flip queue failed: Cannot allocate memory

https://bugs.debian.org/900333

But depends on whether you use modesettings driver and have your Xorg 
log spammed with:

[  1201.939] (WW) modeset(0): flip queue failed: Cannot allocate memory
[  1201.939] (WW) modeset(0): Page flip failed: Cannot allocate memory
[  1201.939] (EE) modeset(0): present flip failed

Thanks,

The upstream fix (in Mesa, where the bug was) is

Bug#900352: new xorg-server version causes a random freezes in plasmashell

2018-05-29 Thread Maximiliano Curia

Package: src:xorg-server
Version: 2:1.20.0-2
Severity: critical
Tags: upstream

Hi,

The severity is set as it breaks "unrelated programs" although I'm not sure a 
desktop environment can be called "unrelated" to x, but in any case, it would 
be better if this version of xorg does not migrate to testing till this is 
fixed.


The new xorg-server version seems to be causing plasmashell to freeze. This 
was first reported in #900145, and it's also seen in other distros: 
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/58549


Upstream seems to have a patch for this (actually two patches that fix this 
with two different aproaches), that I havent tested: 
https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2018-May/056829.html
