Bug#837451: xserver-xorg-core: visual flashes followed by hard crash upon keyboard interaction with thinkpad x201

[gagz <gagz@riseup.net>]

Hi,

I also had that bug.
I installed Stretch from scratch yesterday and noticed screen flashes
(or screen refreshs, I can't really say) sometimes when I was typing on
the keyboard. Once, I got a black screen quickly followed by a system
shutdown, I couldn't find much in the logs (with my knowledge).

Someone pointed me to this bug, I did the workaround (cp
xserver-xorg-video-intel's xorg.conf into /etx/X11), and the bug
disappeared. No more flashes. I hope the shutdown thing won't happen :)


Thanks,
gagz
