2. Symptoms
The input devices are inoperative, the screen image is undistorted but
unresponsive, the eth0 connection breaks (ssh is unavailable.) The REISUB
keys are ineffective. The only recourse is to do a hard reset by holding
the power button. Lockup occurs any where within seconds to within minutes
of bootup. Lockup most often occurs when in the graphical desktop
environment; rarely when in a virtual terminal (ALT F1-F6).
I've experienced very similar symptoms on jessie ever since 3D acceleration
via Glamor became possible with my Southern Island card (Bonaire XTX [Radeon
R7 260X]) about six months ago,
The symptoms may be similar, but it's very unlikely to be one and the
same problem. Please file your own report.
although not immediately after logging in but
rather after several hours, and never when using the computer but when I
leave
it unattended. I *think* it's locked up once while switched to a text
console,
but otherwise only while the graphical console has been active.
Whenever it happens, the system starts spewing out _something_ on the
ethernet
interface, making it impossible to connect to my server connected to the same
switch/AP (the LEDs of both ports flash furiously), but I haven't been able
to
see anything with tcpdump. No clues can be found in any logs, except
sometimes
a few eth0: link up in the server syslog, and just one time the affected
system managed to get off a message about a GPU fault via netconsole:

Once, a couple of weeks ago, I came back to the computer and found it
unresponsive; the screen had gone black but not into sleep mode and I could
still ssh in. chvt would just hang and when I tried restarting X (kdm), the
system stopped responding completely as before. So it seems that the system
might not lock up completely right away, but that it's a two-step process.
Which version of libgl1-mesa-dri and the kernel are you using?
