The Ubuntu Forums link noted by Dan Estberg appears to describe exactly the same symptoms, but in one of the reported occurrences the video driver in use was nvidia.
I have noticed that when I play AisleRiot Solitaire the Memory Utilization panel applet shows the memory utilization approaching 100% as I continue to play games. The main (or only) increment is in the "in use as cache" category. The memory resource graph in System Monitor does not show this component of memory usage. When I close and re-open AisleRiot, the memory utilization returns to normal, and I have not had any xorg crashes yet as long I keep the applet-displayed figure below 90% total. -- Xorg assert failure: X: ../../src/i830_batchbuffer.h:79: intel_batch_emit_dword: Assertion `pI830->batch_ptr != ((void *)0)' failed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/465317 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
