[Bug 337116] [NEW] xserver crashes at random on Asus eeepc 901, user returned to login screen

[Jan Sundman]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel


output from lsb_release -rd:

Description:	Ubuntu jaunty (development branch)
Release:	9.04


output from apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-intel:

xserver-xorg-video-intel:
  Installerad: 2:2.6.1-1ubuntu3
  Kandidat: 2:2.6.1-1ubuntu3
  Versionstabell:
 *** 2:2.6.1-1ubuntu3 0
        500 http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Expected result:
I can use my eeepc 901 witout being afraid data will get lost.

Actual result:

I find my Asus eeepc 901 crashing at seemingly random intervals, it can
take a couple of minutes or a couple of hours and it happens even when I
have no special gnome desktop appications running. What happens is that
the screen suddenly just goes black and I find myself at the login
screen.

I am using jaunty with the latest updates, but this problem also
occurred when using ubuntu 8.10.

When I look at the logs (syslog) I can see the following entries at the
exact time of the crash:

What more information can I provide to ease solving this problem?
