Mt012b, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg 1422137

Please ensure you have xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information.

As well, given the information from the prior release is already available, testing a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

I have this problem as sell. X quits for now apparent reason and dumps me to the login screen (killing whatever was running).

mash, it will be immensely helpful if you filed a new report via a terminal:
ubuntu-bug xorg

Please ensure you have the package xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information.

Also, please feel free to subscribe me to it.

While working through this, I realized that the upgrade to ubuntu 15.10 did
not update to the 4.2 kernel. I have since done that and so far the
problem has not recurred. I will file a fresh report if it does. Thanks,
Chris.
