Keith: not sure if you're still seeing this issue, but it's been resolved for me with a recent testing/sid update. I'll have to check my laptop to see just which 3.0 kernel and xorgs packages I'm using, but all my video freeze/static issues (playback of video reduced view, full-screen view, toggling between X11 and console, suspend/hibernate/restore, and logging off/on to X11 sessions), are resolved.
