Bug#853100: linux-image-4.9.0-1-amd64: Blocked tasks and no X on Latitude E6530
No, I'm using only the free-software drivers.
What's a bit odd is that both mode-setting (for Intel gpu) and nouveau (for nvidia gpu) are used when I am docked (because of Optimus feature of laptop).
But problem shows when either docked or not.
Problem appeared with Linux-4.9. There was no problem with Linux-4.8; bummer when Linux-4.8 disappeared from the Debian repositories.
What counts as out-of-tree?

Are you using the proprietary nvidia driver? If not, what are the out-
of-tree drivers you are using?

Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature.
