Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
This is reproducible in KDE and Unity. To reproduce the bug just launch
a game like Extreme Tux Racer and keep switching the resolutions in the
video options until the game crashes the entire X-server and the
computer needs a hard reboot. This also happens in games like Neverball
or Block Attack Rise of the Blocks. I expected it to change resolutions
without crashing and I am using 11.04 Natty Narwhal. I am also using
stock xorg and have tried xorg edgers and ppa-purged it because it made
the problem worse. Also sometimes in extreme tux racer the game hangs
the Xorg server just by loading the game. Attached I have dmesg unity
logs which may help after creating them from getting help on Ubuntu
forums.
