Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-vesa
I'm currently running X with the VESA driver while debugging a suspend
issue, and came across a freeze in the VESA driver on my hardware.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Boot to login screen (gdm) using VESA driver
2) Switch to VT1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and back to VT7 8 times.
3) Try to switch to VT1 again, screen freezes and fades to white. Machine does
not respond to ping.
I have tried this over and over again, it always freezes on the 9th
attempt, no more, no less. Also, putting the machine in suspend can
trigger it if I have already switched VT's 8 times, otherwise a
suspend/resume cycle seems to reset the GPU so that I can successfully
switch another 8 times! Pretty weird bug.
Please let me know if I can provide any more information.
PS: Ignore the Xorg log attached by apport, it's from a new session (of
course).
