(please keep me CC'ed to answers) Since 7.5 X.org packages appeared in unstable, I experience great instability on my Dell Latitude E4200 (Intel GM45 chipset). Most problems happen when waking up from suspend to RAM: in short, from time to time, the X server crashes and I'm brought back to my window manager login screen.
I haven't been able to isolate something specific (or a specific course of actions) that leads to these crashes: the server doesn't crash each time the machine wakes up from suspend, this is just apparently random. I have one specific thing running nearly always on this machine: Virtualbox-OSE (Debian packages). However, the crashes happen even when no virtual machine is running, so I don't think this could be related. What could I do to help investigating such crashes? The /var/log/Xorg.0.log (or Xorg.0.log.old) doesn't seem to contain very detailed information about the crash but I may be missing something. I hesitate reporting a bug, at least until I am sure about useful information I could provide...and the package that's involved (I know about the difficulties of the "XSF" to deal with bug reports). --
