There seems to be some sort of misunderstanding. The bios was outdated but it was 202 (I think) and now it is 204 but this is the most recent version of the bios available.
The output of the command is: N550JX.204 03/05/2015 The bios upgrade did change the behavior but it still crashes though now it seems to get farther into the logout process and even feels like it may actually properly logout but it still crashes in much the same way. I think I submitted another bug after the bios update. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1453567 ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1452519 Title: Xorg freeze Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This happens at log out. Reboot and shutdown work fine but any attempt to log out will freeze X. I can't even switch to a tty. The screen freezes for about 30 seconds then drops to the shell but is still frozen. The only way to correct the problem is a hard reboot.
