** Description changed:

- I've looked at the page at
- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze and can reproduce the
- bug at will by entering the command
+ I've got Xorg freezes from time to time. Previously, I was able to
+ reproduce it with
  
  sleep 1; xset s activate
  
- that's mentioned on the page. The freeze occurs when the screen content
- reappears after moving the cursor. Cursor is still movable but clicking
- has no effect.
+ as described at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze .
+ That's no longer possible.
+ 
+ However, freezes happen from time to time when I try to use the computer
+ after the screen has been deactivated.
+ 
+ I suspect it's a kernel problem because changing the kernel makes a 
difference:
+ - on some kernels it doesn't seem to occur at all (e.g. 4.0.3 from 
mainline-crack) or the frequency is just so low that I haven't seen it yet
+ - on newer kernels (e.g. 4.5 rc* and later, including the 4.5 release), the 
system restores the screen but Xorg freezes up almost instantly afterwards
+ - on some kernels, the system doesn't properly restore the screen, there's a 
pattern with stripes or a single color (e.g. 4.0.4 from mainline-crack)
