Public bug reported: Setup: 1. Use modesetting driver for X11. 2. Enable a secondary monitor, either VGA, HDMI or DisplayPort.
Observe: a. Screen flickers, loses hsync, goes weird every few seconds. b. After a few minutes, system freezes, no logs, no recovery, no nothing, but display still on screen. Workaround: Switching to intel driver system still crashes, but less often, and differently.
