Hi,
This just happened to me:

X appeared to have stopped rendering (or nothing goes through), but the applications worked fine (I still had sound from a video). My video card is:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Lenovo Device 21d0 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 43 Memory at f1400000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M] Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] I/O ports at 6000 [size=64] Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] Capabilities: [90] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit- Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [a4] PCI Advanced Features Kernel driver in use: i915
I was able to switch to the terminal and reboot.
I suspect this is new in 3.16 and I've noticed some other oddities since I upgraded from 3.15.8: * when adjusting the screen brightness, the minimum setting is now "LCD off"; * when watching a video in fullscreen, I can see a flicker every 10s or so.
Thanks,
