Hello, I seem to experience basically the same bug on a jessie/sid
desktop box with integrated Intel graphics.

The attached /var/log/kern.log snippet looks very similar to what
Olivier quoted.
The same information may be found in /var/log/messages.
I see nothing special in /var/log/Xorg.0.log

The issue started after upgrading to Linux kernel version 3.9 with
Intel video driver version 2:2.20.14-1 (from experimental, I had
upgraded in the hope to solve a bug similar to #682816).

I experience the bug once every 3 or 4 days, after leaving the box with
a locked display (with xscreensaver) for more than 1 hour: when it
happens, I find the screen in energy saving mode (I configured
xscreensaver with dpmsStandby: 1:00:00 and dpmsSuspend: 1:00:00), but
there's no way to wake the screen up again, since all keyboard/mouse
events are completely ignored.
The only way out seems to be to power cycle the box.  :-(

I am currently trying to see what happens if I disable dpms in
xscreensaver...

I have:

$ lspci -v | grep -A 9 VGA

$ cat /proc/version

$ dpkg -l | grep linux-image-3.9 | cut -c 1-70
ii  linux-image-3.9-1-amd64               3.9.8-1



Should this bug be reassigned to xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.20.14-1 ?

I hope it may be fixed soon, since it's really annoying...
Thanks to anyone who may provide any kind of help.
