    I have been unable to reproduce your problem here, and I notice you have
    the proprietary, highly invasive and closed-source Nvidia driver
    installed in your kernel.

    Can you try using the "nv" or "vesa" (unaccelerated) Xorg drivers and
    reproduce the problem that way?

    If you *do* reproduce the problem that way, it would be extremely
    helpful if you could enable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO and provide the vmlinux
    (not vmlinuz/bzImage) file that goes with the crash dump screenshot.

    Thanks!
