[apport] Xorg crashed with SIGSEGV in xf86SetDGAMode()

[Ramin Nakisa]

Might be caused by a broken atheros network card - /var/log/messages contained this error before I shut down and X crashed:

Has anyone been able to reproduce this on 7.10 (or hardy)?

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

No-one has replied, so seems like it was fixed at some point.

[Ramin Nakisa (ramin-nakisa)]

Sorry should have replied earlier. This error was caused by a cooked network card. It overheated because the laptop didn't shut down properly.
