Bug Description
Since recent updates for Ubuntu 11.10 with KDE 4.8 backports PPA (yesterday) I experience random X crashes.
So far it occurred only while I was running Firefox on KDE with flashplayer plugin showing some streaming video. I have a T-series Lenovo Notebook with Intel GM965 graphics.

Since the update included a new version of flashplayer I manually returned to an older flashplayer version which I was running successfully since a while furthermore I updated the Intel drivers using deb http://
I know that this is more a bug report than a question. In fact Random X crashes in Ubuntu 11.04 looks similar and has been closed.
But this bug seems to exist since a year and I would like to know whether its actually the same or if the issue is generally known/maybe considered solved.
Obviously this is a duplicate of https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ xserver- xorg-input- synaptics/ +bug/774978 . According to the numerous user comments this bug reappeared latest with Ubuntu 11.10.
