I suspect that this might be DPMS related. When I use xscreensaver with screen blanking but no DPMS, the problem doesn't seem to occur. When I use xscreensaver with DPMS and standby (setting suspend and off to high values so they don't get triggered), freezes occur when trying to use the computer again after the screen has been blank for some time.

Previously, I was able to reproduce it with sleep 1; xset s activate as described at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze . That's no longer possible. However, freezes happen from time to time when I try to use the computer after the screen has been deactivated. I suspect it's a kernel problem because changing the kernel makes a difference: - on some kernels it doesn't seem to occur at all (e.g. 4.0.3 from mainline-crack) or the frequency is just so low that I haven't seen it yet - on newer kernels (e.g. 4.5 rc* and later, including the 4.5 release), the system restores the screen but Xorg freezes up almost instantly afterwards - on some kernels, the system doesn't properly restore the screen, there's a pattern with stripes or a single color (e.g. 4.0.4 from mainline-crack) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.10 Package: xorg 1:7.7+7ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.2.0-25.30-generic 4.2.6 Uname: Linux 4.2.0-25-generic x86_64 .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 2.19.1-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: [core,composite,opengl,compiztoolbox,decor,vpswitch,snap,mousepoll,resize,place,move,wall,grid,regex,imgpng,session,gnomecompat,animation,fade,workarounds,scale,expo,ezoom] CompositorRunning: None CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Wed Jan 27 21:37:53 2016 DistUpgraded: 2016-01-11 19:25:27,198 ERROR got error from PostInstallScript ./xorg_fix_proprietary.py (g-exec-error-quark: Failed to execute child process "./xorg_fix_proprietary.py" (No such file or directory) (8)) DistroCodename: wily DistroVariant: ubuntu ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, including running git bisection searches GpuHangFrequency: Several times a week GpuHangReproducibility: Yes, I can easily reproduce it GpuHangStarted: Immediately after installing this version of Ubuntu GraphicsCard: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
