Bug#375553: xserver-xorg: Server freezes switching to console and back
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.22
Severity: grave
I start the X system typing startx, then go to the console pressing
C-M-Fn (for some n) and so some other stuff, the go back to X with
M-F7. At that point, either it takes a while and becomes usable
again, or it freezes and the only thing left to do is shut the server
down with C-M-BackSpace. There doesn't seem a pattern showing in what
cases it hangs and in what cases it doesn't. I'm using the following
card, as shown by lspci:
