I had the exact same issue. Now (maybe after a linux-image package
upgrade, but I am not sure) it changed into corrupted image:
-black squares on text forms
-black horizontal ~16px long lines around

and lots of these messages

[drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung
render error detected, EIR: 0x00000000
i915: Waking up sleeping processes
[drm:i915_wait_request] *ERROR* i915_wait_request returns -5 (awaiting 2
at 1)

I have KMS enables, but I had the same corrupted output even without it.

ps: if you think this is an unrelated issue, please let me know and I'll
file another bug.

Thanks,
Ludovico
