I see in the logs that X crashed, rather than locked up? If this is correct, can you collect a full backtrace on this bug? Please see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing for directions.
If not, what we need are logs from right after the failure (you may need to ssh in and collect them). ** Description changed: After upgrading from lucid to natty, running Xterm is fatal to the Xserver, no output in dmesg.
