Wheelerof4te are you using 4.9.0-5-amd64?

Because I am running this version of kernel and still have the problem. So, I started to think that I may have an issue in the hardware?

No, no, no. Read what I've written correctly. You need stable-proposed repo for now:
https://www.debian.org/releases/proposed-updates.html
Add this repo:

Code: Select all

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stretch-proposed-updates main contrib non-free
Then

Code: Select all

apt update
apt upgrade

First of all, pardon for my English :? . Look I noticed that this error occurs with frequency in intel integrated video devices from the series 5000. Although the bug 884116 was closed in the last update (linux/4.9.80-1), I still have problems with my notebooks. I have 2 notebooks, a Lenovo with intel hd video 5500 and an Asus X202E intel hd4000 video. Only Lenovo introduces the video problem.

One solution I found was:
enter text mode. (Usually CTRL + ALT + F3)

with proper permission to write to system folders I created the 20-intel.conf file in the path below:

Code: Select all

nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Now enter the following content:[/b]

Code: Select all

Section "Device"
       Identifier "Intel Graphics"
       Driver "intel"
       Option "AccelMethod" "SNA"
       Option "TearFree" "True"
EndSection
Using the nano to save the file the command is CTRL + O and Close with CTRL + X.

I rebooted the machine apparently did not have any more problems. To test I did a clean installation using KDE and also Gnome apparently solved the problem reported in bug 884116

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=884116

I believe that just like other users my problems started while upgrading from kernel version 4.9.51-1 to 4.9.65-3. I am currently using the Linux version debian 4.9.0-5-amd64 # 1 SMP Debian 4.9.65-3 + deb9u2 (2018-01-04) x86_64 GNU / Linux
I removed the 20-intel.conf file to test how the system behaved. Soon after rebooting the system and opening the first konsole in the KDE or GNOME terminal the problems came back. I re-created the file and rebooted the system, the problem disappears. Creating this file solves the problem of a disk installation. The problem is that sometimes I need to use the Debian live CD so I can not create this file and reboot. Cheering for the next point release (9.4 or 9.3.1) will definitely solve the problem.

Update! :D

I just tested the Debian update 4.9.80-2 (Available only after enabling "stretch-proposed-updates") Apparently this update fixes the problem effectively without the need for manual creation of the 20-intel.conf file. Now it is to wait for this update to be available in the main updates channel. :D
