Bug Description

At least once every session, I'm forced to restart gdm (once had to reboot my machine as gdm had also crashed). I switch to another TTY and back to my X session to find that I have a movable cursor, but otherwise a black screen with white bars spaced along the bottom. I find the following line in my dmesg every time this happens:

I'm without any DM in auto login and auto startx on a minimal install using mingetty on tty1. I had to change the resolution of grub in /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/00_header back to 800x600 because by login out the tty was yellow but usable in blind with a grub resolution of 1152x864 and ctrl+alt+F... where unusable! I sow the messages for the firth time after the resolution modification and tty enabled again. Till now a can't notice any other problems related to the messages...

If needed just ask for any oder informations.

As with original report, switching to another TTY and back will generally (eventually) get the pointer back and let me back in

I am getting these errors in transition to standby. Alt+SysRq is the only method of effecting system afterwards.
