[Phill <1531824@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Quick update: It's taking a couple of days or more to test properly, so
testing the live CD for this issue wont be practical, however, it looks
like it isn't necessary. 3.18.0-031800-generic (from v3.18-vivid)
appears not to have the problem...

v3.16.0-57     INTERMITTENT VIDEO FREEZE ON RESUME
v3.16.0-59     INTERMITTENT VIDEO FREEZE ON RESUME
v3.17-utopic   WIDESPREAD VIDEO CORRUPTION
v3.18-vivid    WORKED PERFECTLY FOR DAYS

I guess there are a lot of versions between 3.16.0 and 3.18 so please
advise, I'll continue to try to pin it down, but if that's enough to
find what's needed let me know.

I'll still download and test the live CD for the video being in standby
from boot when I get a chance.

Title:
  Xorg freeze

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Symptoms:

  * Video is frozen.

  Observations:

  * Mouse moves normally.
  * There is no hard-disc activity.
  * Once  minute or so the video will respond like it's doing so a frame at a time.
  * Pressing CTRL+ALT+F6 and then waiting a minute or so puts you into a terminal.
  * Text terminals work normally without any problems.
  * Pressing ALT+F7 from a text terminal puts you into either black frozen screen or a frozen graphical display.
  * Restarting LightDM doesn't resolve the problem, it shows the login screen and freezes.

  When does it occur:

  * More often than not on or immediately after resume from suspend.
  * Occasionally, but not very often, during normal use.
  * It occurs several times a week, usually after several hours of suspend.

  It started a few months ago.
