The problem is the pattern always seems to be the same: 1.- Your system freezes because a GPU hang. 2.- Upload bug report to bug trackers 3.- After some time, the problem is solved in the next kernel version 4.- Wait for the new kernel version to arrive to unstable 5.- Test the new kernel and... your system freezes again, now with a totally different error / problem, but with the same effect: unreliable computer to get your job done 6.- Go to 2 This has been my workflow for the last five years. I'm getting tired. > Until this thread and that bug report, I was completely unaware of the > extent of recent Intel GPU complaints that that bug represents. https://linuxreviews.org/Linux_Kernel_5.5_Will_Not_Fix_The_Frequent_Intel_GPU_Hangs_In_Recent_Kernels Looking for solutions I found this article and it pretty much resumes the last years of Intel GPU experiences under any Linux distribution. elvis wrote: > Have you tried a live CD of a different distribution?

I didn't tried a lot the Xorg Inter "driver" because it seems to do not work at all with my HD530 GPU: Screen flashes, big rectangles turning into black, scroll corruption.... totally unusable. But I must admit I didn't play too much with the options for that driver. Maybe I should try it again. Andrei POPESCU wrote: > buster-backports has 5.4.8. I know. Kernel 4.19.x has console corruption but low hang rate, but 5.4.x has no console corruption but really high hang rate, at least on my machine. Thank you for all your suggestions.
