I was plagued with this same problem after upgrading to 10.04. Machine is a Dell GX260 with an Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)
Random crashes, always required an reboot to recover, got so bad I stopped using the machine for a while. Googled for a solution, got one which seems to fix it. Open a terminal & enter the following:- echo options i915 modeset=1 | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf Reboot the box. Now using the GX260 daily, no crashes since. -- Xorg crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566324 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
