Bug#519243: use UXA to fix?
I had the same issue on a Intel 82Q35 Express.
I for a couple days now haven't had any issues by switching to use UXA
and KMS (kernel-based mode setting).
I am not sure which fixed it but I don't have corruption.
To enable UXA I put this in the Device section of xorg.conf:
Option "AccelMethod" "UXA"
Then to enable KMS I put this line in /etc/modules:
i915 modeset=1
I haven't had any corruption, suspend and resume works fine, and it
seems a bit faster to me.
The downside is that I can't switch to virtual terminals.
If I try it appears to lock the machine. My desktop stays up and the
same. The mouse disappears and any activity like blinking cursor or
scrolling stops. But if I switch back to VT7 everything comes back.
I guess I can live with no VTs for now without having corruption.
