Bug#883980: base-files: After updating to 9.3, Screen Sporadically Goes Blank

Show all headers | View raw

Package: base-files
Version: 9.9+deb9u3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I upgraded to Debian 9.3 today, using aptitude update/aptitude upgrade, then
rebooted the computer. Everything seemed to be OK.

But then, when using Chromium on Youtube, the entire screen would go Blank
(actually Black) whenever I moved the mouse and it was over the playing video.
When I switched to Terminatior to fire up report-bug, I noticed also that when
I type a character on the command line (bash), the screen also goes black.

When the screen goes black, it happens for about 1 second, then returns to
normal. No flashing or funny noises. The screen goes black for a second, then
comes back on, normal brightness.

I have been using Debian 9, and upgrading periodically, for the past 3-4
months. This has never happed before. I have not made any changes to the
hardware.

I am running a Toshiba Satellite, recent model with Intel I5 processor (and
integrated graphics, no graphics card).

I am not certain if base-files is the correct place to file this report, but
base-files was one of the packages downloaded when I upgraded to 9.3.

Thank you.
