Briefly describe your issue below:
I noticed in Xorg.0.log an excessive spamming of:
(EE) modeset(0): Failed to get GBM bo for flip to new front.
(EE) modeset(0): present flip failed
When this occurs there are two solutions:
The first is to disable the compositing window manager in MATE Tweak. This stops the problem immediately but messes up the look of windows/animations.
The second and preferred method is to disable page flipping. I was able to accomplish this by creating a file ‘xorg.conf’ in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ with the contents:
Section “Device”
Identifier “Intel Graphics”
Driver “modesetting”
Option “PageFlip” “off”
EndSection

After rebooting the logs are no longer spammed. Hope this helps some people.
