In the Xorg.log, the first error appears to be a failed modeset after
resume:

[  5131.319] (II) AIGLX: Resuming AIGLX clients after VT switch
[  5131.319] (II) intel(0): switch to mode 1366x768 on crtc 3 (pipe 0)
[  5131.319] (EE) intel(0): failed to set mode: Invalid argument
[  5131.319] (WW) intel(0): failed to restore desired modes on VT switch

That is going to leave the screens blank. And the subsequent segfault
suggests that I don't have sufficient safeguards to handle that failure.
Can you please run 'addr2line -e
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so 0xb9ed7 0x68517 0x5aa2e' ?
To solve what happened to prevent the modeswitch we need to have the
dmesg, preferrably with drm.debug=6 (echo 6 >
/sys/modules/drm/parameters/debug).

Compiling a debug driver is pretty straightforward.
$ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel
$ cd xf86-video-intel
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-debug=full
$ make && sudo make install

This will overwrite the system driver and so not need any modification
to config files. (It is possible to install into local and change
/etc/X11/xorg.conf to load the driver from there.) So just reinstall
your distro package to revert.
