Is the machine pingable after the crash? Can you restart X without any problem? It would be good if you could: * send us the log of the crashed session (if X already restarted, the previous log is moved to /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old) * catch a backtrace with gdb after installing xserver-xorg-core-dbg and xserver-xorg-video-intel-dbg. The easiest way is to connect through ssh from another machine, attach gdb with gdb -p $(pidof X), wait for the crash to occurs, and then ru "bt full" in gdb.
