Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
Like various other bug reports and on the forums, I am suffering random freezes (machine 100% unresponsive, caps lock, tty, ssh etc) which occur between 5 minutes and 1 hour usually, I have not yet reached 2 hours uptime with Hardy vanilla install.
I originally suspected a Kernel issue, but after trying other Kernels (intrepid ones and hardy/realtime) I moved onto thinking its an issue with X.
So when I disabled to intel driver and using the VESA driver, I managed an uptime of 5 hours (and counting).
I can try the Xserver-xorg package from Gutsy to see if I get freezes with that (I know that I suffer from freezing when I shut my lid with Gutsy on my C400).
This error occurs on Hardy liveCD, Hardy installed with no updates (xserver-xorg-video 2.2.1-1ubuntu12) and with all updates installed (xserver-xorg-video 2.2.1-1ubuntu13.6).
Machine is a Dell C400 Laptop, with the 830 gfx chip.
Cheers, Nick

Please include your /var/log/ Xorg.0. log.
Offhand, this sounds like the pipe-A problem. Try setting this option in your xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
...
Option "ForceEnablePipeA" "true"
EndSection
If that solves the issue let me know and I can put in a quirk for it.
