Dear Maintainer:

I need to advise you that the current package in Stretch xserver-xorg-video-qxl 
0.1.4-3+b1 is
***NOT*** fixed

on my Stretch I manually recompile xserver-xorg-video-qxl and applied the 
following patch:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/xorg-x11-drv-qxl.git/plain/no-surfaces-kms.patch

using this patch on the recompile package, the issue no longer happens (when 
kms enabled).

To be specific, with this patch enabled, even though Xorg.0.log report that 
surfaces enabled,
they behave as if disable and all works. This is the same behavior I can see 
when I ran a Fedora;
log say enabled but no issue, because in fact disable internally.

I advise please apply the patch above to package (if there is no other patch in 
works).
This can't be in the next Debian.

In addition I advise to check other patches listed:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/xorg-x11-drv-qxl.git/tree/
to see if they fix anything else, such as qxl-kms-disable-composite.patch
I can confirm there is other issues with QXL driver (other than this bug) with 
4.x+ kernel such as broken auto-resizing ("Auto Resize VM with Window" broken).

Thank you
