Phil Boutros, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better. However, your crash report is manually attached.
Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your
crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer. First, execute at a

Ran apport-collect -p xorg 1511512 on my laptop because I have more
