Description bodqhrohro 2017-01-16 22:57:54 UTC

After the reboot preceeded by several system upgrades I started getting X.Org frozen on Compiz animations. The input is still processed during a freeze, even mouse cursor can be moved and it changes according to underlying content but the screen image is not repainted. After switching to tty1 and back the freeze is temporarily gone. Firstly I thought this is a Compiz issue and posted https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/xorg/+bug/1656328 but when I replaced Compiz with Marco, freezing still affects hardware accelerated applications such as browsers; now only their windows accidentally get frozen and this still can be resolved by switching to tty1 and back.

Distribution: Debian Stretch (Testing).

This will be fixed once Debian updates xserver-xorg-core to the upstream 1.19.1 release. In the meantime, you can avoid the problem by enabling glamor and DRI3.
