No problems since upgrading to the Linux kernel in the Debian backports. 4.13.0. 4.14.0 seems fine also.
I noticed both systems I encounted this problem have the Intel graphics chipset, so I suspect that there was some sort of regression in the kernel that has since been fixed.
This one is: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 5500 (rev 09)
So not a hardware issue :-).
My Thinkpad X301 has had some problems with the display, when resuming from suspend it would be flickering and jumping around. Changing to a text VT and then changing back to the X display would fix it. That problem seems to have gone away with a recent kernel upgrade (or maybe an upgrade to something else). I'm running Testing though. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
