I don't have anything much to add because nothing got written to /var/log/messages or /var/log/Xorg.0.log.  But not all of the icons on the console were right, they'd blank off when hilighted, and eventually, the system froze up.

This patch fixed the problem!  Thanks guys for the help!
Comment 3 Ilia Mirkin 2014-02-19 03:28:31 UTC
The fix should now be upstream, and should be included in the next 3.14-rc as well as future 3.13.x stable trees.
