I am getting same error: Nov 1 16:45:59 ip61 gdm[5800]: WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0
At that point in syslog, my laptop has died, can't ping it, can't change to text console (Ctl-Alt-F1 etc), can't reboot with Ctl-Alt-Del. Ctl- Alt-Backspace does nothing. Screen is black. Events that have 'triggered' this: - I've had no local login session (gdm starts, but all my logins are otherwise ssh -X from a remote host, which remote logins run xterms, firefox, and that's about it). I have a USB drive bind mounted onto my home directory (on bootup, before any logins). Then, I go to my laptop and attemp to Ctl-Alt-F1 to do a local console- only login, and the screen goes black and the laptop hangs. On reboot, I can provide the following info: uname -a: Linux ip61 2.6.24-25-generic #1 SMP Tue Oct 20 07:31:10 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux OS/Laptop: Ubuntu Hardy, Dell Inspiron 700m. /proc/cpuinfo: model : 13 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.60GHz lspci: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82852/82855 GM/GME/PM/GMV Processor to I/O Controller (rev 02) 00:00.1 System peripheral: Intel Corporation 82852/82855 GM/GME/PM/GMV Processor to I/O Controller (rev 02) 00:00.3 System peripheral: Intel Corporation 82852/82855 GM/GME/PM/GMV Processor to I/O Controller (rev 02) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 03) lsusb: Bus 004 Device 003: ID 050d:0237 Belkin Components Bus 004 Device 002: ID 152d:2329 JMicron Technology Corp. / JMicron USA Technology Corp.
