PS. Yes, I am aware of the fact that I'm using Antergos and this is and Arch forum. Also Mint, Ubuntu and Windows are not Arch. As you can see we are all grasping at straws here trying to find any correlation possible. My guesses have gone from SSD corruption, to broken motherboard, to kernel compatabiliy.
jono, the problem with you using Antergos is that it is not Arch. Whatever the Antergos people did to their distribution may not be the same as what Arch did with theirs. Which means that something that works for you may not work for an Arch user or vice-versa. Posting on this forum while not being an Arch user is a form of help-vampirism. You are receiving help with your issues and your help and the associated discussion does not necessarily benefit Arch - as the information may, as said, not actually work on Arch. It can be frustrating when other communities are not as active as Arch but the fact remains that if you would like to benefit from the good-will of these forums then you really should just install Arch and then everything would be just peachy discussion-wise. That is my opinion.

Antergos is pure ARCH with some aesthetics added, no other core changes, way different than Manjaro and Chakra.

You are welcome to your own reality.
Let me be clear. On these forums, Antergos is regarded by the moderators as a different distribution. On these forums, that is what matters.

An interesting article just appears on ArsTechnica

Just goes to show these products aren't exactly a clean design. Different teams working on different sections of the product without anyone having a complete or thorough understanding 'of all' the working parts and intricacies of the product coming together. Every year they are launching a new product which is often incomplete and with errors. Just look at this. Half baked innovation.

Does anybody have some progress? I'm still resulting the same. After some period of time applications start to be broken. Especially new windows dont opened with message: cannot open display: :0
Latest kernels linux 4.4.5-1(stock) and linux-git-4.5.r8 are producing the same result. Here's my log.

I am having the same issue: cannot open display: :0. Skylake graphics. Latest kernel. Thinkpad T460s.

keenster · 2016-05-28 21:33:25

Fixed by installing linux-git, and I am using the following kernel arguments...

efibootmgr -d /dev/nvme0n1 -p 1 -c -L "Arch Linux" -l /vmlinuz-linux-git -u "i915.preliminary_hw_support=1 intel_idle.max_cstate=1 root=/dev/nvme0n1p2 rw initrd=/intel-ucode.img initrd=/initramfs-linux-git.img"

The important parts are

i915.preliminary_hw_support=1

intel_idle.max_cstate=1

but it's possible

intel_idle.max_cstate=1

is not needed.

Linux-git produces same issue. After random amount of time X application can't connnect to xorg

"Fixed" by using intel driver and enabling bumblebeed 10 seconds after boot. No kernel arguments.
When system goes to standby bumblebeed gets automatically stopped just before standby and started again when system resume.
Just two custom services:

bumble.service

[Unit]
Description=Bumblebe

[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/sleep 10 && /usr/bin/bumblebeed"

[Install]
WantedBy=graphical.target

bumble-suspend.service

[Unit]
Description=Bumblebe
After=suspend.taget

[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "systemctl stop bumblebeed.service"

[Install]
WantedBy=suspend.target

10-monitor.conf

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "Monitor0"
    DisplaySize 508 285 # In millimeters
    Option "DPI" "96 x 96"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier             "Screen0"  #Collapse Monitor and Device section to Screen section
    Monitor                "Monitor0"
    Device		   "Device0"
    DefaultDepth           24 #Choose the depth (16||24)-
    SubSection             "Display"
        Depth              24
        Modes              "1920x1080_60.00" #Choose the resolution
    EndSubSection
EndSection

20-intel.conf

Section "Device"
   Identifier "Intel Graphics"
   Driver "intel"
   Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
   Option "DRI" "3"
   Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection

20-nvidia.conf

Section "Device"
        Identifier "Nvidia Card"
        Driver "nvidia"
        VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
        Option "NoLogo" "true"
        Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP"
	Option "UseEdidDpi" "False"
	Option "DPI" "96 x 96"
EndSection

It's just a workaround but works flawlessly since june. No more hangs.

To Intel and Nvidia driver installation follow the wiki. Nothing fancy here.
Intel
NVIDIA
Bumblebee
If you need the nvidia Card, just use optirun as normal.

Did you try linux-git with the kernel arguments I recommended? I've been running 2 external displays that way on my T460s and had no issues.

If I set any name but localhost applications don't start at all. If I set name to localhost it doesn't solve the problem.

Yes I did, I've been trying to use this parameters since I created this thread, it seems like all of theese doesn't work at all, and it's f*cking MSI bug, I have no idea tho how and why. Bug is Intel's, cpu is exactly the same (including microcode) over different laptop's brands. I can't find find anyone with exactly the same symptoms for over half a year)

Did you change the hostname with the X server running or stopped?
If you changed it while the X server was running did you try restarting it before changing the hostname back to localhost?
If you changed it while the X server was stopped did you the X server itself start correctly?
Edit:
@keenster for comparison do you have a valid hostname set? ( ie is it set to something other than hostname )
@deathangle908 the journal should indicate when the hostname changes from localhost to localhost.localdomain does that correspond with when you can not start applications?
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 5#p1612165 provides ways you can allow access to X server after the hostname change without having to restart it.

I do have a valid hostname set.

$ hostname
resin

Almost a year has passed till I got my laptop fully working. Just tested OPTIMUS and it finally ran w/o black display.
As it's written in wiki the conf bellow is sufficient and only NOW it works (at least in my case):
No kernel parameters, nothing in blacklist

rm -f ~/.xinitrc

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "Module"
    Load "modesetting"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "nvidia"
    Driver "nvidia"
