Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
Since upgrade to natty, X often just crashes at random moments (about at every hour or so, but of course there is no exact "period"). I'm using nvidia's binary driver. Xorg log files always says "Caught signal 3 (Quit). Server aborting" and the following lines are common (the others or not):
0: /usr/bin/X (xorg_backtrace
1: /usr/bin/X (0x8048000+0x60808) [0x80a8808]
2: (vdso) (__kernel_
I can mention to examples now (which I have logs about), one is:
Backtrace:
[ 908.812] 0: /usr/bin/X (xorg_backtrace
[ 908.812] 1: /usr/bin/X (0x8048000+0x60808) [0x80a8808]

the other is:

Also it seems I am not lucky with natty if we speak about vga cards :) With ATI radeon it turned out I hit a drm module bug which was fixed already in upstream but not in ubuntu's kernel, with nvidia, trying nouveau I have no video signal till gdm or when I switch to text console at all (and I need libgl1- mesa-dri- experimental for any decent performance, but still CPU usage goes high sometimes), with nvidia binary driver, random crashes, and also no boot logo+text console (but there is video signal, just some barcode like ugliness on the screen). I am wondering if I should stay with maverick, it seems to be more stable both video nvidia and ATI in my experience. Also I am very open to help Ubuntu like with the ATI radeon bug too, when I did the kernel git bisecting to find the problematic commit (bug 735126) . Just please tell me what I can do to help in debugging or so, and I try to support ubuntu development with the help I can do at least ... Thanks in advance!
