X Server freezes randomly in Ubuntu Lucid

[Marcelo Ruiz]

Binary package hint: xorg

X crashes randomly (I cannot find a list of events that will produce the crash, but it does it very often: 3/4 times a day).
After it crashes, it cannot be restarted by Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.

This also happens in a Toshiba Satellite M640...

Does a newer nvidia driver resolve it?
