Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Background: Running Ubuntu Jaunty. Compiz is disabled. Video card is a ATI Radeon 9550.
What happens: X crashes at seemingly arbitrary times. It has gotten pretty bad recently, sometimes happening once an hour or every two hours. Next time it happens, I will try debugging it with gdb, but it left an interesting trace in Syslog:

[This is an automatic notification.]
A new version of the -ati driver is now available in Karmic.
This is a significant update to -ati which brings in kernel mode-setting
(currently disabled) and scores of fixes for DRI2, EXA, etc.
I've posted the new version of this driver to the following PPA,
would you mind testing it and seeing if it resolves the bug you
reported?
https:/
If you're not running this release of Ubuntu, you can try booting the Karmic
LiveCD and loading the PPA onto it, and then log out/in to restart X.
ISOs are available at http://
After testing Karmic, report back here whether it's still an issue or not,
and if it is please post a fresh Xorg.0.log and 'dmesg' output.
Note there could be new bugs... please file these as new reports using
the command 'ubuntu-bug xorg'.
