• Bug#837451: xserver-xorg-core: visual flashes followed by hard crash up

    Hi,

    I also had that bug.
    I installed Stretch from scratch yesterday and noticed screen flashes
    (or screen refreshs, I can't really say) sometimes when I was typing on
    the keyboard. Once, I got a black screen quickly followed by a system
    shutdown, I couldn't find much in the logs (with my knowledge).

    Someone pointed me to this bug, I did the workaround (cp xserver-xorg-video-intel's xorg.conf into /etx/X11), and the bug
    disappeared. No more flashes. I hope the shutdown thing won't happen :)


    Thanks,
    gagz
