Hmm, these "happens randomly and rarely" bugs are extremely hard to troubleshoot (as you can imagine).
Unfortunately the Xorg.0.log.old didn't have a backtrace, but thanks for digging it up. Given how infrequently you see the issue, it's not unlikely that some other fix will resolve it before you see it again. However, if that doesn't come to pass, and you do run into the bug again, please take the opportunity to collect a backtrace. There are directions for doing this at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingXorg. For now, just make sure to have the debug versions of -intel and xserver installed, so when you collect the backtrace it'll have all the important info. With a good backtrace in hand, we can probably do some analysis to figure out why it crashed, and hopefully figure out a patch. If I don't hear from you within a few months, we can assume things sorted themselves out and we can close the bug. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- [Hardy beta] External screen goes suddenly blue with Intel 945GM https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206999 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
