The problem has returned here. Xorg.0.log keeps terminating with an empty 
backtrace, and nothing in dmesg unless adding drm.debug= to cmdline. C-A-D 
doesn't do anything. openSUSE Tumbleweed still works. Nothing I can think of has 
changed overnight. Maybe this is come kind of timing issue, consistently bad for 
your machine, occasionally OK for mine.

Last night and this AM before my last post here I was reliably getting into Xorg 
after a lot of trial & lockups. So, a bug filing is apparently needed. I'd like 
you to file it. You're using XFCE4, so presumably only standard repos, while I'm 
using Trinity, meaning non-standard repos, plus having a related issue you 
haven't mentioned. TDM is trying to start even though the target is multi-user, 
so ATM at least I can't get a chance to even try startx.

Once you've filed and shared a bug I'll subscribe and add comments. Bug filing 
instructions I just used for an installation problem are here:
https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/i386/ch05s04.html.en

Main instructions seem to be different:
